Utilities

This repo is a collection of general purpose utilities I've created to address various issues large and small—mostly small. Brief descriptions follow.

ordinal

C++: ordinal.cpp
Python: ordinal.py

Simple functions that return the ordinal suffix of an integer (e.g., the "st" in "1st" or the "rd" in "23rd") given an integer or a string representing an integer.

reddit_pages

reddit_pages.py

Simple BeautifulSoup-based scraper that returns a list of all available page URLs of a subreddit for a selected category ("hot", "new", etc.), so you don't have to click "Next" several dozen times to get to the last page.

spring

spring.py

A Python function that returns the (x, y) coordinates needed to draw a sawtooth-shaped spring between any two points in 2D space. The spring width ("diameter") and the number of spring coils can be chosen.

See spring/README.md for more information.

tracktime

tracktime.py

A simple command line time tracking utility. Not fully functional. This was the precursor to Krono Tracker.

unique colors

uniquecolors.py

A generator function that returns N unique colors in the form of RGB, HSV, or HLS 3-tuples.
