Paella

Objective is to create a general purpose calendar application in pure perl for the terminal. A monolithic application, i.e one that is standaolne without any dependencies. It has slimmed down versions of DateTime (to work only on YYYYMMDD format dates), Term::ANSIColor, and Term::ReadKey, all built into this single file applicaton. A version may be made using above dependencies if felt necessary.

• Minimal dependencies
• Customisable (yearview, month view, show week number done in Version 0.01)
• Highlightable (done in Version 0.03)
• Import ICS files and appropriate highlighting (done in version 0,05)
• Interactive calendar (done in version 0.04)
• Create iCAL files (TODO)
• Year views and month views (TODO)

Version 0.05

Now uses an ultra-simple ics importer to load dates from an ics file and populates the calendar with these.

• a date index, indexes events by date (surprise)

• Navigating to date displays event name(s) below the calendar coloured as defined when loading ics file

• Multiple ics files may be loaded each with a different colour.

• When a date has events in multiple calendars the colour of the date in the calendar depends on the last calendar imported (of course).

  

Version 0.04

paella now has interactivity, allowing navigation through days/month years.

• Key detection and action (arrow keys = change days,page up/page down=change months, tab/shift tab = change years
• Simple Calendar arithmetic
• Blinking of current focus of date
• Inverted is todays date
• Randomly generated (for now) date heighlighting;

Version 0.03

The application has been renamed paella.

• Dependency on DateTime removed (no extrernal modules required: this will be a monolithic, single file application)

• Decorations added, including borders

• Colours, blinking, underlining etc

• Calendars can be placed anywhere in the terminal window. (May eventually become a Term::Graille Widget)

  

Version 0.01

• Print custosimable month and year calendars
• Experimental ways to colour dates
• A month is a 7/8 X 8 by grid with 3 characters in each
• Customisable horizontal and vertical spacing.
• Blog introducing this project
