[Time Challange] Digital Soroban Clock
« on: March 22, 2009 »


I made this little demo using the soroban for my numbers! It reads in military time. It is a binary soroban clock I suppose. I tried to make something under 128KB ;) Press escape at any time to exit. I might make it a nice screen saver or something down the road. I'm fairly happy with my chrome lights. I've never tried drawing such things.

Very cool indeed. I'll have to look up the difference between Military time and civillian time.

Conversion is quite easy. The difference is that military time uses 24 unique hours rather than the usual 12 with AM and PM notation. There is no AM or PM notation. Hours range from 0 to 23.

Not too difficult really.

The first two columns are the hour, second two are the minute and third two are the seconds.

You just read them as column values. Each red value adds 5 to the column each blue adds 1

Also, multiply each of the left-hand columns of each pair of columns by 10 and you've got the time.
