Star Light is a task management software designed to support students and family by tracking events and information for their school.
This project was built for the 2023 FBLA Mobile Application Development.
Check out the ongoing project at https://github.com/DatBirbDude/App-Hopefully for releases and latest builds
To get our app, we recommend that you install the newest stable version to your device from our releases page. Go to https://github.com/DatBirbDude/App-Hopefully/releases, and select the top and latest build. You will be greeted with two options, one with cmd and one without. For most users, we recommend the one without, unless you are using an unsupported Windows version. Download the zip file to your computer and unzip it wherever you would like. Next, start the app by entering the new folder and clicking on starlight.exe. It will begin automatically.
We currently support Windows Vista, 7, 10, 11. Support for the Windows phone is experimental at this time.
If you have any issues installing the app, please see the Support section of the README
==================== BUILDING FROM SOURCE ====================
If you wish to build from source due to any unforeseen compatibility issues, please clone our repo (https://github.com/DatBirbDude/App-Hopefully) to your computer. We have provided a configured 'starlight.spec' file, which you should only alter to our instructions.
We only offer build instructions for Windows devices, Windows Phone may be buildable but remains undocumented.
Remember to clone shallowly(use git clone --depth 1 ) if you only intend to build the app, not contribute to it
You will need to install >=python3.8. Python instructions: https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download
Now create a virtual environment for the project: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
You will need all dependencies that both python and pyinstaller run on, including the pip package manager.
Run python -m pip install PyInstaller certifi Pillow tqdm typing-extensions decorator pycryptodomex filelock idna requests Pygments platformdirs imageio charset-normalizer pydantic PySocks kivymd kivy instagrapi pybase62 docutils requests-toolbelt distlib moviepy Kivy-Garden urllib3 numpy pywin32 pypiwin32
Warning: This may take a some time depending on the speed of your system and connection rate
Some packages may already be on your system.
Create a new directory for the exported build.
Move starlight.spec from the source directory into the newly created one and open it in your text editor of
choice.
Replace all instances of PATH\\TO\\THE\\PROJECT\\ with the path to your source directory.
If you would like to keep the build as light as possible, it is safe to delete the following files/folders:
server
Calendar.ics
Any folder or file starting with "."
Now return to the new directory.
run python -m PyInstaller starlight.spec
Warning: This may take a very long time depending on the speed of your system, do not halt the process
If no errors arise, you can go the /dists directory of the new folder and find the folder named starlight. This and all files contained within are responsible for running the app, you can launch it with the newly created starlight.exe inside
Note: If you would like to toggle the command line visibility, use the console flag (default="console=True") in the starlight.spec file
If you find an internal issue or oversight within the app, please use the provided bug report system so that administrators and developers can review it.
If you find a major bug or for any reason find yourself unable to use the reporting system, you can email us directly at support@glitchtech.top
Due to the scale of our operation, we may be unable to provide additional instructions to building our app from source, but we promise to try our best.
