The Fresh Tomatoes Movie Trailer Website contains the movie posters of some of my favorite movies. If the user clicks on one of those posters, a link to the movie trailer will open on the page.
The source code for this site can be found on my github page.
The module media.py contains a class Movie where we have created a data structure to store information about a particular film. The contents of this file are adapted for this project after following the Python Foundation course on Udacity.
The file entertainment_center.py will read from the JSON file movies.json, which acts as a simplified database, and create a list of Movie objects which will be passed to the open_movies_page function contained in the fresh_tomatoes module.
The module file fresh_tomatoes.py has been provided by Udacity. I made a few modifications to this file in order to personailze the site a little bit.
The user will need to download and install Python, if it is not already installed.
Executing the code is as simple as typing the command
python entertainment_center.py
into the terminal.
This program will then open a window (or a new tab) in the default web browser with the newly created HTML site containing my favorite movies.
The code was written keeping in mind that the user will most likely be using Python 3.6, but it is compatible and will run if the user is still using Python 2.7. I recommend using Python 3 for future projects.
While creating this project, it was important that it have some sort of simulated real world behavior. The idea to use a JSON file to store the information about each film was added as a way to accomplish this simulation.
- The json module for Python.
- JSON format.
- The
gitignorefile was copied from gitignore.io - Font Family Oswald taken from Google Fonts
- HMTL color pallette from w3schools
- Favicon taken from freefavicon.com
- How to add a favicon from stackoverflow
If the title of the movie contain more than 25 characters, the fresh_tomatoes module will create an undesired layout for the HTML.
This is the reason why I changed the name of the movie to simply "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" when I had originally used "Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi".
