+# Daily Folder Backup
+
+A tiny Python script that automatically backs up a folder to a destination directory once a day, timestamped by date.
+
+## Features
+
+- Runs continuously in the background and triggers a backup every day at a set time
+- Copies an entire folder tree using `shutil.copytree`
+- Names each backup by the date it was created (e.g. `2026-07-16`), so you get one snapshot per day
+- Skips silently (with a message) if a backup for that day already exists, instead of crashing
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.7+
+- [`schedule`](https://pypi.org/project/schedule/) library
+
+Install the dependency with:
+
+```bash
+pip install schedule
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Open the script and set the two path variables at the top:
+
+```python
+source_dir = "/path/to/folder/to/back/up"
+destination_dir = "/path/to/where/backups/go"
+```
+
+By default, the job runs daily at `12:00` (24-hour format). To change the time, edit this line:
+
+```python
+schedule.every().day.at("12:00").do(...)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the script and leave it running (e.g. in a terminal, `tmux`/`screen` session, or as a background service):
+
+```bash
+python automatic_file_backup.py
+```
+
+Each day at the scheduled time, it will create a new folder inside `destination_dir` named after the current date, containing a full copy of `source_dir`.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. `schedule` checks every 60 seconds whether it's time to run the backup job.
+2. When triggered, `copy_folder_to_directionary()` builds a destination path using today's date.
+3. `shutil.copytree` recursively copies the source folder into that dated destination.
+4. If a folder for that date already exists, a `FileExistsError` is caught and a message is printed instead of overwriting or crashing.
+
+## Limitations & ideas for contribution
+
+- Only one backup per day is supported (running twice in a day just logs "already exists")
+- No cleanup/rotation of old backups — the destination folder will grow indefinitely
+- No logging to a file, only `print` statements
+- Could be extended with:
+  - Configurable backup retention (e.g. delete backups older than N days)
+  - Support for multiple source folders
+  - Compression (zip/tar) instead of a raw folder copy
+  - A config file or CLI args instead of hardcoded paths
+  - Proper logging via Python's `logging` module

+# Mastermind (CLI)
+
+A terminal implementation of the classic **Mastermind** code-breaking game. The computer generates a secret 4-color code, and you have a limited number of tries to guess it — with feedback after each guess telling you how close you are.
+
+## How to play
+
+- The computer picks a secret code of 4 colors (repeats allowed) from: `R`, `G`, `B`, `Y`, `W`, `O` (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, White, Orange)
+- You have 10 tries to guess the exact code
+- After each guess, you're told:
+  - **Correct Positions** — how many colors are the right color _and_ in the right spot
+  - **Incorrect Positions** — how many colors are in your guess and in the code, but in the wrong spot
+- Guess all 4 correctly to win. Run out of tries and the code is revealed.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.6+ (no external dependencies)
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the script:
+
+```bash
+python mastermind.py
+```
+
+Enter your guess as 4 space-separated colors, for example:
+
+```
+Guess: R G B Y
+```
+
+The game will validate your input (correct length, valid colors) before scoring it.
+
+## How it works
+
+- `generate_code()` builds a random 4-color secret code from `COLORS`.
+- `guess_code()` reads and validates player input, looping until a valid guess (right length, valid colors) is entered.
+- `check_code()` scores a guess against the code:
+  1. Counts how many of each color exist in the code.
+  2. First pass: counts exact matches (right color, right position), decrementing the color count as each is used.
+  3. Second pass: counts color matches in the wrong position, using only colors not already claimed by an exact match — this prevents double-counting a color that only appears once in the code.
+- `game()` runs the main loop: generate a code, take guesses up to `TRIES` times, and report the result.
+
+## Limitations & ideas for contribution
+
+- No support for changing code length, color set, or number of tries without editing constants directly in the source
+- No hint system beyond correct/incorrect position counts
+- No replay prompt — the game ends after one round
+- Could be extended with:
+  - Command-line arguments or a config option for difficulty (code length, number of colors, tries)
+  - A "play again?" loop
+  - Colored terminal output (e.g. using `colorama`) instead of letter codes
+  - A guess history/board showing all previous guesses and their scores
+  - Unit tests for `check_code()`, especially around duplicate-color edge cases

+# YouTube Video Downloader
+
+A small Python script that downloads a YouTube video from a URL you provide, letting you pick the save folder through a native file browser dialog.
+
+## Features
+
+- Prompts for a YouTube URL directly in the terminal
+- Opens a native folder-picker dialog (via `tkinter`) so you can choose where the video is saved
+- Uses [`yt-dlp`](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) under the hood to handle the actual download, so it benefits from yt-dlp's format support and site compatibility
+- Saves the file using the video's title as the filename
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.7+
+- [`yt-dlp`](https://pypi.org/project/yt-dlp/)
+- `tkinter` (included with most standard Python installs; on some Linux distros you may need to install it separately, e.g. `sudo apt install python3-tk`)
+
+Install the dependency with:
+
+```bash
+pip install yt-dlp
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Run the script:
+
+```bash
+python downloader.py
+```
+
+You'll be prompted to:
+
+1. Enter the YouTube URL you want to download
+2. Choose a destination folder in the dialog that pops up
+
+The video will then download to that folder, named after its title.
+
+## How it works
+
+1. `open_file_dialog()` opens a folder-selection dialog using `tkinter.filedialog.askdirectory()` and returns the chosen path.
+2. `download_video()` configures `yt-dlp` with an output template (`%(title)s.%(ext)s`) pointed at that folder and the `"best"` format, then downloads the video.
+3. Errors during download (invalid URL, network issues, etc.) are caught and printed rather than crashing the script.
+
+## Limitations & ideas for contribution
+
+- Only supports a single video URL per run (no playlist support)
+- Always downloads the `"best"` format — no option to choose resolution, audio-only, or a specific format
+- No progress bar; you won't see download progress until it finishes or errors
+- No URL validation before attempting the download
+- Could be extended with:
+  - A simple GUI wrapping the whole flow (not just the folder picker)
+  - Format/quality selection (e.g. audio-only extraction)
+  - Playlist and batch URL support
+  - A progress hook using `yt-dlp`'s `progress_hooks` option
+  - Retry logic for transient network failures
+
+## License
+
+MIT (or update to match your project's license).
