This project is a clock that displays the time as the address of a Bible verse! For example, at 3:16, the clock might display "For God so loved the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16"
I learned more commands in tkinter for adding background color, text padding (though I can’t get the text centered vertically) and window size.
I also added some more randomness to the verses with the books with a certain match being only if the random book does not have one.
If anyone knows how to center the text vertically, I would appreciate a suggestion.
Before, the clock started whenever you started the program and changed time one minute (plus web scraping time) later. Now, the clock will change within 2 seconds of the real clock (no web scraping time included)!
This was harder than I expected because time.sleep will freeze the GUI.
There is a weird bug where some of the time, it just pops up a blank screen (no text at all). But that only happens some of the time, so I’m not sure what is causing that. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
After tracking down a bunch of errors and poorly dealing with the fact that not many chapters of the Bible have 60 verses (to ensure a match with the time), it is finally working!
I still need to make the window prettier (choose font, add padding, add colors) and maybe figure out a better way to select a verse so that it is not just reading a chapter a verse at a time every minute.
