This was my very first **Coding Project**, submitted as part of my **12th Standard CBSE Computer Science Lab Examination**.\n\n## ✨ Features\n- **Simple GUI Interface**: Built using Tkinter for an easy-to-use experience.\n- **12-Hour Format**: Users can set alarms in AM/PM format.\n- **Notification Alerts**: Displays pop-up messages when the alarm is set and when it rings.\n- **Beeping Alarm**: Uses the Winsound module to produce a beeping sound when the alarm goes off.\n- **No Additional Dependencies**: Uses built-in Python modules, making installation simple.\n\n## ⚙️ Project Setup\n### 📋 Prerequisites\n- Python installed on your PC (version 3.x recommended).\n\n### 📥 Installation\n1. Clone this repository:\n   ```sh\n   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Tkinter-Alarm-Clock.git\n   ```\n2. Navigate to the project directory:\n   ```sh\n   cd Tkinter-Alarm-Clock\n   ```\n3. Install the necessary modules:\n   - **Windows/macOS**: Tkinter is included by default, so no additional installation is required.\n   - **Linux**: You may need to install Tkinter separately:\n     ```sh\n     sudo apt-get install python3-tk\n     ```\n4. Run the application:\n   ```sh\n   python app.py\n   ```\n\n## 🚀 How It Works\n1. Open the application.\n2. Enter the time when you want the alarm to ring in the **HOURS** and **MINUTES** fields.\n3. Select **AM/PM** from the dropdown menu.\n4. Click on **SET ALARM** to activate the alarm.\n5. You will receive a notification confirming the alarm has been set.\n6. When the time matches, another notification will appear with the message **\"WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD\"**, and a beeping sound will play.\n\n## 📦 Modules Used\n- **Tkinter**: For GUI creation.\n- **Datetime**: To check the current time.\n- **Winsound**: To play alarm sounds.\n- **Messagebox (from Tkinter)**: To display notifications.\n- **Ttk (from Tkinter)**: To create labels, buttons, and combobox elements.\n\n## ⚠️ Limitations \u0026 Further Development Areas\n- The alarm only works in **12-hour format**. Entering time in military format may cause errors.\n- The beeping **cannot be stopped manually**; it plays for a set duration.\n- No option to **customize alarm sounds**.\n- The app **continuously checks the time**, which may cause high CPU usage.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzul132%2Ftkinter-alarm-clock","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fzul132%2Ftkinter-alarm-clock","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fzul132%2Ftkinter-alarm-clock/lists"}
