Loading 45% complete indicator

# this program gives you the percentage complete in a loop like a loading bar

# WARNING: On THONNY, it won't overwrite the previous line like it's supposed to. That's a Thonny bug.
# If you run using CTR+T to run in the terminal, it works fine.

total_iterations = 30 # this is the bit you change to say how many cycles you want


for i in range(total_iterations):
    
    
    # Your code that is iterating goes here in place of the sleep
    sleep(0.1)
    
    
    percent_complete = round((i/total_iterations)*100,1) # calculates current completion % 
    
    print("Program is", percent_complete,"% Complete ", end = "\r") # prints it over the last line

print("program is complete!")

Program is 6.7 % Complete

Watchdog Programs

eg. This program that shows the ISS crew a banner if there's a major incident and they're all exposed to the vacuum of space.

from sense_hat import SenseHat

pressure = sense.get_pressure()

# checks if pressure in ISS is less than 300hPa
if pressure < 300: 


  sense.show_message("DON'T PANIC")

  print(" ")
  print(" ")
  print("  _____   ____  _   _ _ _______   _____        _   _ _____ _____   ")
  print("|  __ \ / __ \| \ | ( )__   __| |  __ \ /\   | \ | |_   _/ ____|   ")
