If you have used Python, you must be aware of the Python shell (the IDLE). We have one place where we write the code and to run the code, we need to switch between the windows. Some brilliant mind will say (with a sarcastic sound) "He calls himself a programmer and he is talking about IDLE... Lol hahaha."

Shut up! Okay? I use IDEs but something that you have made, even its worse than what you think that was worse, you will like that! And a programmer builds things. This is his work.

Now in this project, I created my own IDE with python using Tkinter.

Now let me assume that some of you are from Mars and they don't know what IDEs actually are? So basically, IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. It provides a collection of different things needed for coding and creates an environment for coding fast. Well its obvious that I could not make something at once that can directly challenge VS code (one of the leading IDEs in). But I can make something more similar to a text editor (like Notepad). And basically, what we actually want in programming is a section to run the program and display the output. So, can't we combine the output and the editor part in the same window. So, it reduces our work to switch between the windows like we do in IDLE.

Well, that's all about the idea. I am going to create a new notepad. But don't laugh. Okay. It would have some more features than notepad. Believe me! Let's start!

Finally, after adding a few things that clicked on my mind, I completed the IDE. This is the final look :)

Then Bye Bye!

# Not For Copy paste coders

So, just if the case you are not aware of the chrome Dino game, let me tell you it is a chrome game. You must have seen this game once in your lifetime. If not, then may I ask you a question? Answer in the comments if you want, else ignore. I would like to ask "Are you from Mars?" No, it's not a silly question. It's very important. I want to know the answer. I am really serious. The Dinosaur Game is a built-in browser game in the Google Chrome web browser. The player guides a pixelated Tyrannosaurus rex across a side-scrolling landscape, avoiding obstacles to achieve a higher score. Search chrome://dino on Chrome browser and you will see the game.

Well, I think I am talking too much let's get straight to the topic...

So, for the project, the python modules/libraries I used in this project are pillow and pyautogui. Well, I think that pyautogui is one among few important libraries for automation of anything in python. Pyautogui allows you to automate the keys of your keyboard and even mouse. Just for an example, if you are going to subscribe this blog, then you can use Pyautogui to take your mouse and click on it. Isn't it awesome that this library makes that so easy. Also the other library I used is for image processing. Pillow is a image processing library.

Well, I also used time module to give a variation in hte project.

Let's understand the logic of the code to know the use of Pillow. The logic of the code is that the system takes few screenshots and then, just for easy processing, with the help of Pillow module, we convert the screenshots to grayscale image and then process for a particular color pixel in a space.

Basically, I have made a rectangular region with the coordinates of the screen. Now lwt's suppose, a dark black pixel comes in that rectangular region. The code will detect that and suddenly, with the help of pyautogui, we press the "up" arrow key. That's it. Now the point where the code becomes complicated is that, it depends on your systems processing power on how much time it would take after getting the input, processing it and return the output (hit a key). So, may be on your system, this code will not work properly.

The other case is, due to some variations in device resolution and pixel sizes of different devices, the data for the coordinates of square region may vary on different devices. So, there are a lot of chances that *this code is not for Copy paste coders*

Well, I think I am talking too complicated. This blog is feeling like a professional coder. Isn't it? So, that's all for this project.

Then Bye Bye!

So basically, my story begins from ... Error 500

That was 26 July, 2021. I wanted to improve my front end development skills. So I decided to make something that would also help me in Javascript. Because seriously, I am worse at it! At the end, I sat on my computer and started looking for an idea. Suddenly, I don't know why but one line said by Mark Zuckerberg hit me on my mind. Mark has once said during his speech at Harvard, "Facebook was not the first thing that I built... I also built games, chat systems, study tools and music players. I’m not alone. JK Rowling got rejected 12 times before publishing Harry Potter. Even Beyonce had to make hundreds of songs to get Halo. The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail."

Well I know that's very motivating line... But I am not talking about that! Well, I know you got what I am talking about, but I need to explain this...

Did you notice, he said Music Players... Well, That's where the idea came from... Thank you Zuck! :)

So, first things first, I did what's every web dev's first step, that is to create a index.html file... Then it all started... Firstly I created the basic structure of the website in html then added some css in it...

Then after I was satisfied with the design { Well, that saisfaction is temporary... } I created script.js file and started with my javascript part for the project.

After a few google searches and a few video tutorials, I completed the player in 3 hours. Well, thanks to the gods of developers, w3schools, stackoverflow, geeksforgeeks, youtube, ...

Note: But, you should keep in mind that there's no program made which doesn't have bugs.

The most important part of a programmers life is debugging of code. That's where we spend most time staring at our code looking for a silly error that we committed.

Finally, managing with my studies and taking out some time for debugging, I guess today I completed it... Not today actually, I meant to say the day I uploaded this post. See on the top.

This is the final look of the music player:

If you want the code of the music player, then you are just one comment away...

Right now, I am not providing the code because i think as of now, no one other than me is reading this...

Please let me know in the comments below that you are reading this post...

This link might not work right now... :(

This is how the player looks like...

Okay Bye Bye!
