BurstTime Chronicles

Welcome to BurstTime Chronicles, the place where you decide the fate of your digital workers, also known as processes.
They arrive, they wait, they run, and sometimes, they suffer the wrath of your scheduling choices.
Will you be a fair ruler or a tyrant of time? The CPU clock is ticking.

The Algorithms

Every story needs its characters, and in BurstTime Chronicles, three mighty schedulers take the stage:

1. FCFS — The Gentle Giant

The "First Come, First Served" approach. It’s polite, orderly, and never cuts the line.
If a process shows up first, it runs first. Simple, but sometimes too patient for its own good.

2. SJF — The Speed Enthusiast

The "Shortest Job First" algorithm. It adores efficiency and hates waiting.
If you’re small and quick, you’ll be picked first. Longer jobs might just sulk in the queue.

3. Round Robin — The Fair Juggler

No favorites here. Everyone gets a turn, one time slice at a time.
It keeps things fair, though a bit dizzying, imagine a spinning CPU trying to please everyone at once.

Performance Scores

Every ruler must measure their reign. In BurstTime Chronicles, your success is judged by two scores:

Waiting Time (WT)

How long your poor processes stood in line before finally getting their moment to shine.
The smaller this number, the happier your subjects.

Turnaround Time (TAT)

The grand total from the moment a process enters your kingdom to the moment it departs victorious.
Lower is better here too, unless you enjoy watching the world burn slowly.

Get it Running

Setting up your realm is easier than declaring sovereignty.

Prerequisites

1. You’ll need Python 3.x installed.
   (If you can run python --version in your terminal and see something starting with a 3, you’re good.)
2. You’ll also need sv-ttk for a sleek modern look. Install it using:

pip install sv-ttk

How to Begin the Chronicles

1. Save the script as bursttime_chronicles.py
2. Open your terminal in the same folder.
3. Run the command:

python bursttime_chronicles.py

4. Watch your processes line up, battle for CPU glory, and learn who emerges victorious.

The Verdict

BurstTime Chronicles isn’t just a simulator; it’s a courtroom, a racetrack, and a drama of milliseconds.
Choose your scheduler wisely. Balance fairness with speed. And remember:
every process deserves a little CPU time before the end of its tale.
