Python GUI Project: To do task manager

Overview

Graphical User Interface also known as GUI(pronounced as gee-uu-eye) is a visual representation of interactive components of a computer program. GUI enables non-programmers to easily interact with computer programs with the use of interactive visual components such as buttons, toolbars, menus, textboxes, etc.

This project provides a graphical user interface that enables users to add new tasks, edit added tasks, remove tasks, and mark tasks as completed. The GUI consists of:

• a root window container that holds all other GUI widgets/components.
• Listboxes to display lists of ongoing tasks and completed tasks.
• Functional buttons to enable users to interact with the essential features of the GUI.

Getting started

Requires any version of Python, preferably Python 3.

It also requires playsound python 3rd party module. To install this, within your terminal enter pip install playsound.

Clone this repository unto your local device or download the zip of this repository, and unzip it in your local storage.

Run main.py and this should automatically create the GUI window.

If you don't have python installed in your computer, you can run the executable I have created from the source code without having python installed in your computer to use program.

To run executable:
STEP 1: download the zipped executable components from here.
STEP 2: unzip file file and search for main.exe.
STEP 3: run main.exe by double clicking on it.
