TIME MATH CHALLENGE: A Python Project

TimeMath Challenge: A Python Journey Through Time

Greetings, fellow Python enthusiasts! Today, we embark on a unique coding adventure - creating a Time Math Challenge project. In this journey, we will blend the elegance of Python with the intricacies of time arithmetic. Let's craft an educational yet entertaining game that will not only flex your programming muscles but also sharpen your timekeeping skills. Ready? Let's dive in!

The ChronoCode Structure

Our project, like a well-oiled clock, will be composed of three essential cogs:

1. main.py: This is where the heartbeat of our game resides.
2. utils.py: The unsung heroes, providing assistance and validation functions.
3. questions.py: The time-traveling wizard that generates our enigmatic queries.

The TimeCrafters: questions.py

Our time-traveling wizard, questions.py, will conjure random time-related questions.

python
import random

def generate_question():
    hour = random.randint(1, 12)
    minute = random.randint(0, 59)
    return hour, minute

def get_answer(hour, minute, operation):
    if operation == '+':
        minute += random.randint(1, 30)  # Add random minutes
        if minute >= 60:
            minute -= 60
            hour += 1
    elif operation == '-':
        minute -= random.randint(1, 30)  # Subtract random minutes
        if minute < 0:
            minute += 60
            hour -= 1 
    return hour, minute 

The TimeKeepers: utils.py

Our unsung heroes, residing in utils.py, ensure that answers are accurate.

python
def is_answer_correct(question, user_answer):
    return question == user_answer

The TimeWarpers: main.py

Now, let's unleash the magic within main.py - the heart and soul of our TimeMath Challenge.

python
from questions import generate_question, get_answer
from utils import is_answer_correct

def main():
    score = 0
    num_questions = 5

    for _ in range(num_questions):
        hour, minute = generate_question()
        operation = random.choice(['+', '-'])
        
        print(f"What time is it after {'adding' if operation=='+' else 'subtracting'}?")
        print(f"{hour}:{minute:02}")
        
        user_answer = input("Enter your answer (hh:mm): ")
        user_hour, user_minute = map(int, user_answer.split(':'))

        correct_hour, correct_minute = get_answer(hour, minute, operation)

        if is_answer_correct((correct_hour, correct_minute), (user_hour, user_minute)):
            score += 1
            print("Correct!\n")
        else:
            print(f"Wrong. The correct answer is {correct_hour}:{correct_minute:02}\n")

    print(f"You got {score} out of {num_questions} questions correct.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

To set our TimeMath Challenge in motion, run main.py in your Python lair. The game will conjure random time-based enigmas, and you shall wield your Python prowess to unravel them.

The Finale

You've done it! You've woven code and time into a beautiful tapestry. This TimeMath Challenge project is a testament to your Python prowess. But remember, this is just the beginning. Feel free to extend this chronicle with timers, scoring systems, or even more complex temporal operations.
