the basic steps to get you started:
- Choose a GUI package (tkinter is built in and will do the trick)
- Create root window of desired size: https://effbot.org/tkinterbook/tkinter-hello-tkinter.htm
- Add a Canvas widget to root: https://effbot.org/tkinterbook/canvas.htm
- Draw a circle on the canvas: http://zetcode.com/tkinter/drawing/ (search for shapes)
- create a IntVar variable, set it to max count: https://effbot.org/tkinterbook/variable.htm
- display countdown text in circle: https://effbot.org/tkinterbook/canvas.htm#Tkinter.Canvas.create_text-method
