Pomodoro timer made with Errbot

Why did you make it

Suddenly I wanted to make it (when asked if I would use it, I might not use it?)

        if time_counter is None:
            return

        if time_counter >= 25:
            time_counter = -5
            self.send(target, "5 minutes break")
        elif time_counter == 0:
            self.send(target, "25 minutes intensive")
        self._timer[0] = time_counter

    @botcmd(name='pomodoro_start')
    def start(self, msg, args):
        self._timer = [0, msg.frm]

        return 'Timer off'

• Start the timer with ! Pomodoro_start.
• About 25 minutes later, a "Let's take a break" post flies from Errbot
• After 5 minutes of break, a "let's work" post will fly from Errbot
• Timer ends with ! Pomodoro_stop

Such a behavior memo

Function call in scheduling

As I wrote earlier, Errbot can call functions at regular intervals by using start_poller (). Set the timer on / off aside, and let the logic of the main unit work every minute for the time being.

The main body logic is just a counter check

• If the timer is off, it will be None
• Enter an integer from -5 to 24 when the timer is turned on
• While the timer is on, add a counter for each logic call per minute
• When the counter reaches 25, return it to -5 and take a break post.
• Work post when the counter reaches 0

By all means, it's for one person, so I'm making a multiplayer version because it's a big deal
