Movie Marathon Planner

A Python script that helps you plan the perfect movie marathon by finding all possible combinations of movies based on their showtimes while minimizing wait times between films.

Features

  • Input multiple movies with multiple showtimes
  • Find all possible combinations for a specified number of movies
  • Automatically checks for time conflicts between movies
  • Calculates wait times between movies
  • Sorts combinations by total wait time
  • Displays results in a clean, formatted table
  • Easy-to-read output showing start times, end times, and wait durations

Requirements

Python 3.6 or higher is required.

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:
git clone https://github.com/AgentGino/movie-marathon-planner.git
cd movie-marathon-planner
  1. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use: venv\Scripts\activate
  1. Install dependencies from requirements.txt:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

  1. Run the script:
python3 main.py

  1. The program will display available movies with their showtimes

  2. Enter the number of movies you want to watch

  3. Review the possible combinations, sorted by wait time between movies

Adding/Modifying Movies

To add or modify movies, edit the movies list in the main() function:

movies = [
    Movie("Movie Name", ["14:30", "18:00", "21:30"], 148),
    # Add more movies...
]

Each movie needs:

  • Name (string)
  • List of showtimes (list of strings in 24-hour format "HH:MM")
  • Duration (integer, in minutes)

Sample Output

Available Movies:
+---+-------------+-------------------+
| # |    Movie    |    Showtimes     |
+---+-------------+-------------------+
| 1 |  Inception  | 14:30            |
|   |             | 18:00            |
|   |             | 21:30            |
+---+-------------+-------------------+

Found X possible combinations (sorted by wait time):
+----------+-------------+------------+-----------+------------+------------+
| Combo #  |   Movies    |Start Times | End Times |Wait Times  |Total Wait  |
+----------+-------------+------------+-----------+------------+------------+
|   #1     | Inception   |   14:30    |   16:58   | 30 mins    | 30 mins    |
|          | The Matrix  |   17:30    |   19:46   | -          |            |
+----------+-------------+------------+-----------+------------+------------+
