YouTube Alarm Clock

  The open alarm

Inspiration

After my phone broke, I needed to find another alarm clock. What better way than to make one myself.

What it does

The code accepts the user's desired wake up time and opens a YouTube video link at the desired time.

How I built it

Using Python's "Time" and "WebBrowser" libraries, the code accepts a string in the form "XX:xx". This string is then continually compared to the current time until they are equal. At this point, a new tab in an already open browser window, or a new window if there is no already-open window, is created with the link to the YouTube video.

Challenges I ran into

Coming from no Python experience prior to this project, I had to learn to implement new libraries and functions.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The alarm clock works!

What I learned

This project taught me some basics of Python and helped convert some of my working knowledge of C++ into usable knowledge to another language.

What's next for YouTube Alarm Clock

The code currently does not allow for a user to input their desired video. An upcoming feature to look forward to.
