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.
