Create a command-line to-do list application.

Creating a command-line to-do list application is a fantastic way to practice Python programming and work with basic data management. Here’s a structured approach to building this application, including game steps, input ideas, and additional features:

Game Steps (Workflow)

  1. Introduction:
    • Start with a welcome message and brief instructions on how to use the application.
    • Explain the available commands and how to perform actions like adding, removing, and viewing tasks.
  2. Main Menu:
    • Present a main menu with options for different actions:
      • Add a task
      • View all tasks
      • Mark a task as complete
      • Remove a task
      • Exit the application
  3. Task Management:
    • Implement functionality to add, view, update, and remove tasks.
    • Store tasks with details such as title, description, and completion status.
  4. Data Persistence:
    • Save tasks to a file or database so that they persist between sessions.
    • Load tasks from the file/database when the application starts.
  5. User Interaction:
    • Use input prompts to interact with the user and execute their commands.
    • Provide feedback and confirmation messages for actions taken.
  6. Exit and Save:
    • Save the current state of tasks when the user exits the application.
    • Confirm that tasks are saved and provide an exit message.

Input Ideas

  1. Command Input:
    • Use text commands to navigate the menu and perform actions (e.g., add, view, complete, remove, exit).
  2. Task Details:
    • For adding tasks, prompt the user for details like title and description.
    • Use input fields for the task details:
      • Title: Enter task title:
      • Description: Enter task description:
  3. Task Identification:
    • Use a unique identifier (like a number) or task title to reference tasks for actions such as marking complete or removing.
  4. Confirmation:
    • Prompt the user to confirm actions such as removing a task or marking it as complete.

Additional Features

  1. Task Prioritization:
    • Allow users to set priorities (e.g., low, medium, high) for tasks.
    • Implement sorting or filtering by priority.
  2. Due Dates:
    • Add due dates to tasks and provide options to view tasks by date or sort by due date.
  3. Search and Filter:
    • Implement search functionality to find tasks by title or description.
    • Add filters to view tasks by status (e.g., completed, pending) or priority.
  4. Task Categories:
    • Allow users to categorize tasks into different groups or projects.
  5. Export and Import:
    • Provide options to export tasks to a file (e.g., CSV or JSON) and import tasks from a file.
  6. User Authentication:
    • Add user authentication if multiple users need to manage their own tasks.
  7. Reminders and Notifications:
    • Implement reminders or notifications for tasks with upcoming due dates.
  8. Statistics:
    • Show statistics such as the number of completed tasks, pending tasks, or tasks by priority.
