# Miscellaneous Python Projects



This is a collection of my smaller Python projects that don't fit elsewhere.



---



## CalcPi



These are scripts I wrote to play with and visualize generating digits of Pi.



While researching that, I came across an article on [Spigot algorithms for Pi](https://www.gavalas.dev/blog/spigot-algorithms-for-pi-in-python/),

and their various Python implementations. The author seems to have discovered

one of the fastest ways of doing that in Python, & I couldn't find any faster.



Using the generator function by [GavalasDev](https://github.com/GavalasDev),

`CalcPi.py` & `CalcTau.py` live-print the digits in color to the terminal, and

`PiPixel.py` & `TauPixel.py` use Pygame to draw digits as color-coded pixels.

`DigitCompare.py` takes 1000 digits of half-Pi, Pi, and Tau, prints them out

together in rows, coloring digits which overlap in either 2 or all 3 rows.

## Matrix



This is my version of the classic Matrix code-rain animation, for the terminal.

Made this as a personal challenge on New Year's, and it turned out pretty nice.

I've since made improvements, some alternate versions, and added Japanese kana.

Might be Linux only, `Ctrl+C` to quit. [New version here!](https://github.com/Nikorasu/MatrixCode)



---



## Snake



This is a terminal-based Snake game I made, without using additional libraries.

It's pretty basic, play area fills the terminal, so resize it to your liking.

Use arrow keys or wasd to move, `q` to quit.

To get arrow keys working, Esc key won't work quite right, and needs 3 presses.



---



## Spectrogram



I put this together while learning to use sounddevice & numpy's fft function.

It's essentially just a reimplementation of sounddevice's spectrogram example,

using Pygame instead of ascii. The _save version outputs timestamped images.



---



## TypingWPM



This is a little typing-speed-test I wrote, after seeing someone make something

similar using Curses. I wanted to try doing it without Curses, and it worked!

`typingwpm.py` should be pretty portable, just needs the `pangrams.txt` file.



*Note: Slower terminals may bug after rapidly pressing 2 keys at the same time.*
