A quick and dirty counter app made in python/pygame

Python Counter

This is a really simple alaways-on-top counter made with Pygame. I made this really quick and dirty for a friend who needed a counter for a game and we couldent find an alternative that worked for us. Only works on Windows.

Config

You can change the x and y values to what ever you want on the screen.

>18 user32.SetWindowPos(hwnd, -1, 0, x, y, 0, 0x0001)

default is

>18 user32.SetWindowPos(hwnd, -1, 0, 0, 500, 0, 0x0001)

Code should be easy enough to follow to add/change whatever you want.

Usage

Download proper pip libaries with pip3 install <package> Run with python3 main.py

To exit, press p and then click the x to close the window. The p key stops the keyboard listner. To increase the counter, press space. To reset the counter press r.

Key presses are detected everywhere, even the app is not in focus. Window is always on top of all programs.

If someone finds a better alternaive, please let me know! In the mean time, if request is high, I will improve the counter and make the code better and what-not. Made with ❤️
