IDEA: fitness timer
brotherS:
Hi,
maybe such a tool (or a vaguely similar one) already exists, but I don't know it and couldn't find one.
My idea: a simple tool with 2 settings:
- number of intervals
- duration each in seconds
It would then just display something on the screen (in a way that's visible from a distance, so maybe by using 50% of the screen size) that alternates every [duration each in seconds], as often as wanted ([number of intervals]).
Another option could be a sound being played every [duration each in seconds] in addition to what's on the screen, so that it works with exercises where one can't face the PC too.
Would love such a tool!
PS: 30 pushups, anyone? (Not me [yet?]) 8)

This would count as an entry in the GOE Programming Challenge with December 1 deadline:

I can see lots of fun options for such a program..
Like a nice option would be if you could configure a text file with entries like:
NAME, intervalcount, duration..
Pushups, 20, 1
Situps, 30, 2
etc..
And then maybe add an option to let you choose a time (like 20 minutes) and have it choose aprx. 20 minutes worth of excercises in random order.
brotherS:
Hehe, I'm all for that :)

Most of the requested functionalities are already implemented in the following thread : https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=10338.0
:up:
Just set the span and loop. Span is the duration when the buzzer kicks off, and loop tells you how many times the buzzer will ring when the time to buzz is met. It will happen every Span minutes !
brotherS:
Nice, that's almost perfect! I just need a minimum span of 5 seconds instead of 5 minutes, could you make that possible please?
