messageEuler

Python project to send text message of a desired programming problem on projecteuler.net

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

You need the python interpreter, get it by visiting

https//python.org

or click here and install it

Setting Up Environment

Fork this repo and clone it to your local machine. Navigate into messagEuler folder and run the following commands

pip install pipenv

This is to create a virtual environment for the project.

pipenv shell

To activate the virtual environment

pipenv install -r requirements.txt

To install the python dependencies used in this project

easy_install twilio

This command ensures you have the lastest version of twilio, and installs it if not already installed properply.

More

To use this program, you need to have an account with Twilio, so you would recieve messages from python 😃 When you create an account, the wizard will help you set up your twilio phone number which will be used, and also your Account sid and Auth Token, which is needed.

Running the tests

Return to the messageEuler folder and run

python main.py

to start the program. Give valid inputs to the questions asked and you should recieve a message from your twilio number in within some minutes.

Note

The time taken to recieve a message, varies!

Future

Hoping to make it a desktop app, which pops up on starting the computer everyday, so we can code everyday. 💻💻💻 Would also make a version of it, that allows users login, connect them for global competitions. (Authentication, Databases and connectivity)
