A collection of beginner-to-intermediate Python projects created for learning, experimentation, and portfolio building.
Each project focuses on core programming concepts — from file handling to GUI development — and is documented for easy reference.
This repository contains several small Python applications I built while studying Computer Science and self-learning practical programming.
Each project started as a learning exercise, then grew into something functional and shareable.
I’m keeping this repo public as a portfolio of my coding journey — showing progress from console apps to GUI-based tools.
| Project | Preview | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 😌 Mood Tracker |  |
Console-based app to log moods, view summaries, and export history to CSV. |
| 🎵 Music Player |  |
Tkinter + Pygame music player with basic controls. |
| 🎧 Modern Music Player Pro |  |
CustomTkinter-based upgraded version with progress bar and volume control. |
| 🎥 Screen Recorder |  |
Records your screen and saves it as a video file using PyAutoGUI + OpenCV. |
| 🕒 Digital Clock |  |
Minimalist Turtle graphics clock showing current time. |
🧩 Each image is stored locally in the
/assets/folder for easy maintenance.
| Project | Description | Technologies |
|---|---|---|
| 🎵 Music Player | Tkinter-based music player built with Pygame, inspired by GeeksforGeeks tutorial. | Tkinter, Pygame, Requests |
| 🎧 Modern Music Player Pro | Upgraded version with CustomTkinter UI, volume control, and theme switcher. | CustomTkinter, Pygame, Mutagen |
| 🎥 Screen Recorder | Simple screen recorder using PyAutoGUI and OpenCV. | PyAutoGUI, OpenCV, NumPy |
| 🕒 Digital Clock | A simple clock made with Turtle graphics. | Turtle, Datetime |
| Project | Description | Version | Repository |

Through these projects, I’m practicing:
- Writing clean, reusable Python code
- Managing files, user input, and data storage
- Creating graphical user interfaces (GUI)
- Using external libraries (Tkinter, CustomTkinter, Pygame, OpenCV)
- Version control and project documentation with GitHub
Each folder contains:
- A Python script (
.py) - A README.md explaining features, dependencies, and run instructions
To run any project:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/python-mini-projects.git
- Open the terminal and navigate into the project folder:
cd mood_tracker - Run the script:
python mood_tracker.py
