In third year I decided it was time I learned to make windows pop up on the screen, since I wasn't learning it in the classroom. Here are a few simple programs I painstakingly wrote in PyGTK. They all require Python and the GTK libraries to run. Check out www.pygtk.org if you'd like to install it and try them out.

(a very simple) Calculator - calculator.py

Minesweeper - minesweeper.py

Voice Recorder - Silently records audio in the background, and will "snap" the last few minutes of footage when activated.
