Allow user to manually enter task and time #15

Closed xuveki closed 1 year ago

xuveki commented 1 year ago

Have started this. General is currently:

user can type in "manual" when prompted for input
user is prompted for more information
the task time they input is taken and converted into seconds
that time is added to the total program time
the name is added to the task name list
the time is added to the task time list
task is checked to see if it's a repeated task, if so: add to the repeated task dictionary
run back into main and restart the loop

Some issues I'm running into:

a lot of the flow of main has been basically "if they've gotten past the checks, then they're done with their task so append the lists and move on." I've quick fixed this with some globals but the code is getting a little ugly. A whole run-through of the program with more functions is needed to keep this maintainable.

So far though, repeated tasks seem to be working, starting with a manual task is working, and ending with on is as well.

The most recent commit allows this with the "manual" input command. Users can type in regular English or H:M:S format.
