Say goodbye to the drab default calculator haunting your command line—CLIculator explodes onto your terminal with a rainbow of colors, intuitive vibes, and zero-fuss math magic that makes calculations feel like a party, not a chore!
Tired of that ugly, black-and-white cmd calculator that looks like it was designed in the stone age? CLIculator upgrades your terminal from boring to brilliant with:
- Vibrant Visual Flair: Rainbow gradients, syntax-highlighted ops (like + in fiery red for that addition thrill!), and rich panels that make math pop—no more squinting at plain text.
- Intuitive, Menu-Driven UX: Jump into basics, shapes, percentages, or temp conversions with simple key presses. Handles BODMAS expressions effortlessly, no complex commands needed.
- Zero-Fuss Portability: Pure Python script runs anywhere Python 3+ lives—Windows, Mac, Linux. Download, run, calculate. No heavy setups, just instant fun.
Teaser: Imagine your terminal lighting up like a disco—check this GIF for the glow-up!
Fire up the party in under a minute—no PhD in terminals required. (Python 3.6+ needed for the color magic.)
- Grab the Script: Download
CLIculatorv2.pyfrom the repo (ignore the old v1.1—v2's got the upgrades!). - Install Dependencies (one-time zap): Open your terminal and run:
(These handle the eye-candy; the script assumes they're there.)
pip install colorama rich - Launch the Fun: In the folder with the file, type:
Boom—gradient title waves in, menu awaits!
python CLIculatorv2.py
No installs? Just drag-and-drop to a Python-enabled spot and run. Pro tip: If colors look wonky, ensure your terminal supports ANSI (most do).
CLIculator's all about that playful flow: Pick from the home menu (1-5 for features), enter values, get colorful results. Errors? Friendly nudges, no crashes. Here's the vibe in action (simulated with ANSI escapes—your terminal will shine brighter!):
Enter expressions like 2+3*4—it auto-handles order with BODMAS.
[Gradient Title Appears...]
├─►2+3*4 (In electric blue prompt)
└─Result is► 14 (In glowing green)
Press Enter to recalculate or < to bounce back.
Pick shape (1-4), input sides—results in bold cyan.
Example: Square (ID 1), side 5:
Enter Side: 5
The Requested Results are: Area = 25 units Perimeter = 20 units (Bright white on black)
"What percent is X of Y?"—super simple.
Example: 25 of 100:
╰─► 25 is what percent of 100
25 is 25.0 percent of 100 (Style.BRIGHT highlight)
Quick parity party.
Example: Input 7:
╰─Number to calculate► 7
Number is odd (Bold magenta)
C to F or vice versa.
Example: C, input 0:
╰─ID►C
╰─Number►0
The Requested result is: 32.0°F (Vibrant cyan)
Easter eggs? Type ? for help, S for support (opens GitHub), or secret codes for web surprises. Exit with x anytime.
CLIculator's a lightweight Python script blending colorama for ANSI colors, rich for fancy console output, and built-ins like re for expression parsing and math for shapes/temps. Evolved from v1.1 to v2 for snappier gradients and expression smarts—runs cross-platform without bloat. Tinker away; it's all in one file!
