<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580739 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/alarm/">alarm</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/audio/">audio</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/clock/">clock</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/multimedia/">multimedia</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/music/">music</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/playsound/">playsound</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/time/">time</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utilities/">utilities</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utility/">utility</a>). </p> <p>This is a simple musical alarm clock in Python. You pass a command-line argument specifying the time in minutes after which the alarm should go off. When that time arrives, it plays a musical sound.</p>

It lets you specify the alarm time in minutes as a command line argument, and prints a wake-up message and beeps a few times, after that time arrives. You can use 0 for the minutes to test it immediately, including to adjust the volume using your speaker controls.</p>

I surely don't! So to those that voted this FUN piece of Python coding down, you are now about to see what the aim was.</p> <p>However although I have subsequently done what I said I would, that is, to create large digits as an _at_a_glance_ digital readout for a project in Python I have decided not to upload it. However I have decided to let this one go as a bash/shell script instead.</p> <p>It is a nothing but a simple clock, well, maybe not that simple; but as I am into shell stuff at the moment I thought I would share this with you.</p> <p>The terminal does have its colours changed and the cursor disabled for the session but I expect you big guns to be able to return back to normal in a jiffy.</p> <p>I am an amateur coder and if that is easy for me then you pros should have no problems.</p> <p>This code is not like most of my other stuff as is NOT Public Domain...</p> <p>It is only a DEMO to see what an at a glance display would look like in a terminal.</p> <p>Move away to a distance and see which of the two time readings you can still read... ;o)</p> <p>It is for a Macbook Pro 13" OSX 10.7.5 and uses bash imode. It will probably work on most Linux machines too but I haven't tested it...</p> <p>This is purely a DEMO only and any other special effects, (e.g. flashing colon every second), alram, etc, I have already experimented with and is easy enough to do...</p> <p>My intention is to use this as a kids level text mode digital voltmeter I am doing.</p> <p>Enjoy...</p> <p>Bazza...</p>
