The quest to make an android app in a month

I have made a program in Python that helps you manage a hypothetical movie theatre. You can see your customers, the amount in their wallets , list of movies you show in this said theatre , edit them, and most importantly see their performance graphs to evaluate their popularity and make the suitable changes to your movie catalogue so your imaginary theatre doesn't go bankrupt. You can also do all the customer stuff like purchasing tickets too.

This "Hypothetical" movie theatre can be a real movie theatre and someone who actually owns a movie theatre can use my program.......If only they can actually use my program in a more usable way. As currently my python code only runs in the IDE terminal and suffice to say a terminal text prompt is neither very attractive nor user friendly.

So to solve this problem I will be learning to code in Android Studio using Kotlin.

Why Android?

I decided to start learning on how to make apps on Android due to the majority of mobile users using Android. Android has more than 2.5 Billion mobile users in the world. That's a lot of users, and a lot of potential movie theatre owners that can use my app. In addition to this I can also diversify my experience in programming by using Kotlin and expand my coding knowledge.

Why a month for all this?

As I have a dev feast coming up in my college and I would like to present my personal project . Only android apps are accepted. So I have to make an app in a month somehow or miss out on this cool opportunity.

That was all for this blog. Stay tuned for updates.

CAD : The computer aided design miracle

In this world the musing of the humble designer is seldom talked about or even thought of. What happens between the desk and the drawing board of an engineer, stays there. Even among engineering circles, the skill as important as making drawings of a physical product won't have enough suitors to fill a small room with to talk about. And in all honesty, that is fair. Making engineering drawings, or engineering graphics, for those with taste, is frankly very boring. It's tedious work making detailed drawings of a something that doesn't exist in the world, but you have to make sure its correct to the inch, on paper. To some it is an art only given to the most honored engineers, to most, it is as boring a watching paint dry. The world has gone far away from the days of yore. No longer is the creation ground of all things engineered on paper, willed into the world by the mind of an engineer and his pencil. And with new blood, comes new innovations. The world has gone the way of...

Making rockets for science!

I joined this small group of model rocket enthusiasts from India on Discord. Having an interest in model rocketry and experimenting with model rocketry in my childhood, I really took an interest in their group. And thus, after 4 years of High School not doing much rocketry, I restarted my interest in designing rocket. I was in 1st year 2nd semester college by the time I joined Rocketery-IN. Suffice to say this was the very first time I had to balance a project this big for me and my 2nd semester . This taught me a great deal about time management. Over the course of the next 6 months , the team and I were steadfast in developing our Jericho-1. And came December 25, 2023 -the time for Jericho to touch the sky with glory ! I will post more about the Jerico-1 in the upcoming posts.

Speech Recognition in Python

I recently made this python speech recognition code. It's a simple , little project ment to teach the basics of speech recognition using python. It uses the SpeechRecognition library by Anthony Zhang and a text-to-speech (TTS) element powered by the pyttx3 library made by Natesh Bhatt. Below is the documentation to go along with the project. And here is the github repo Simple Python Speech Recognition by Prabal Pratap Singh Rawat
