[RELEASE] Countdown v1
« on: May 30, 2010, 08:01:56 pm »
Can't find that kitchen timer?
Need pizza badly?

Presenting, a countdown timer for Dingux!



Just fire that sucker up, use the D-PAD to set the time, and press A to start the countdown! LEFT/RIGHT adjusts seconds, UP/DOWN adjusts minutes.

Source code is included, though the source is a horrid mess. It kept hanging and stopping and I couldn't figure out why, so it looks like something a 10-year old wrote right now. But it works! If I ever decide to update this, I'll probably clean up the source :3 If you feel like cleaning it up for me, be my guest! xD

Extract to /local/apps/. It doesn't take any commandline parameters, everything is controlled within the application itself. Press A to switch between countdown mode and time set mode. You can use the font and alarm sound of your choice if you replace font.ttf and alarm.mp3! :)

Enjoy!

Get it while it's hot, only at my Google Code page!
CLICKY

Edit:
Protip: Set the volume for Countdown to 100 within Gmenu2x, there is no internal volume control as of yet.

Edit 2:
Check out my new stopwatch application!

I might release a stopwatch as another project in the very near future, as it can be forked from this with very few changes to the source. Glad you like it :)

Wow, not only could this save someone a minimum of $1, but you can make a custom font and custom alarm sound.
A programmer that adds open modifications to suit the users customizable choice which allows user-made settings/files which means it can serve many more purposes.
A countdown could have a "Happy New Years!" celebration,
"Happy Birthday"
or as a joke you could record yourself saying like "Hey I'm stuck! Someone get me out of here!" and put it behind a couch and set the timer for like 15 minutes or whatever when you know someone un-suspecting is going to be in that room, hehe.
Maybe a cooking timer that can say "Your _____(food) is now ready". So many possibilities!
Maybe a message that reminds you to do something.

It would be even better if you could combine it with an output that would let it use the image viewer to display an image at the end of the countdown, in addition to the sound. The person who made the image viewer, may not have included code to allow a command line execution that displays a picture.

I'm not really sure how to interpret this. Are you being sarcastic? I'm not new to programming in general (I've programmed since I was 13 years of age), but I AM new to C and SDL. Therefore my first apps will be very watered down and simple applications, as I learn how to use C, SDL and both as a combo.
