Digital Clock Using Python

The Digital Clock project is a Python-based application that displays the current time in a GUI window, updating every second using the tkinter library. Its main objectives include creating a user-friendly interface and gaining experience with event-based programming. Future improvements could include adding alarm features, displaying the date, and supporting different time zones.

Slide 2:

Introduction

 Digital Clock project is a simple


Python-based application that
displays the current time on a GUI
window. It refreshes every second to
keep the displayed time accurate.
This project combines basic
programming logic with visual
output using Python’s tkinter library.
By building this project, students
can learn how to handle real-time
updates and design user-friendly
interfaces.
Slide 3:

Objective of the Project


 The main objective of this project is to
design a desktop application that acts as
a digital clock. It should automatically
update the current time every second
and display it in an easy-to-read format.
The focus is on Real-time functionality
Clean and responsive GUI Learning how
to use Python’s built-in libraries
effectively Gaining hands-on experience
with event-based programming
Slide 4:

Tools and Technologies Used


 Programming Language: Python 3Modules:tkinter: for GUI creation
time: to fetch and format system time Platform: Works on Windows,
Linux, or macOS This project is completely platform-independent and
runs on any system with Python installed. No third-party libraries are
required, making it simple and accessible for all students.

 Libraries :
 Tkinter – for GUI
 Time – for real clock
Slide 5:

How It Works (Logic)


 Use time.strftime() to get system
time
 Create a GUI window using tkinter
 Display the time in a label
 Refresh the time every second using
after(1000) function The loop keeps
updating the time, giving a real-time
effect.
Slide 6:

Code – Import & Setup


 from tkinter import *
 import time
 root = Tk()
 root.title("Digital Clock")
 root.geometry("350x150")
 root.configure(bg='black’)
 These lines import required libraries and create the clock window with
title, size, and black background.
Slide 7:

Code – Time Update Function


 def update time():
 current time = time.strftime('%H:%M:%S’)
 label.config(text=current time)
 label.after(1000, update time)

 This function gets the current time and updates it every second
using after().
Slide 8:

Code – Display & Runlabel


 label = Label(root, font=('Arial', 40), fg='lime', bg='black’)
 Label.pack(anchor='center’)
 Update time()
 root.mainloop()
 The time is shown in a label with large green font on a black
background. mainloop() runs the GUI.
Slide 9:

Features
 Displays time in real-time
 Auto-refreshes every second
 Minimal and clean user
interface
 Uses only standard libraries
 Works smoothly on all
platforms
Slide 10:

Limitations
 Does not show date

 No alarm or timer feature

 Cannot switch between 12/24-hour format Still, for a mini


project, it fulfills its purpose perfectly.
Slide 11:

Future Improvements
 Add alarm or reminder feature
 Show date and day
 Add themes (dark/light)
 Support for different time zones
 These updates can make the project more useful.
