tvierb/tclock

A simple analog clock for the terminal.

tclock.pl -- a simple analog clock for the terminal

Usage: ./tclock.pl [--delay 15] [--stretch 2.25] [--help]

This clock is heavily inspired by the famous awk terminal clock by Antoni Sawicki --> https://github.com/tenox7/aclock/blob/master/sources/aclock.awk

But I did it in Perl (18:39):

                              . .  12  . .
                        .  .               .  .
                   .  11                        1  .
                 .                                   .
               .                                       .
              .                                         .
            10                                            2
           .                                               .
          .                                                 .

         .                                                   .
         .                                                   .
         9                                                   3
         .                      M MH                         .
         .                  M M   H                          .
                          M      H
          .            MM       H                           .
           .       M M         H                           .
            8    M             H                          4
              .               H                         .
               .                                       .
                 .                                   .
                   .  7                         5  .
                        .  .               .  .
                              . .  6  . .

you can resize the terminal window and the clock will adapt the new size within seconds.

Ideas for future versions

• have a thicker hour hand
• colors
• Draw other characters in the circle like ',:!?
• two circles of numbers: one for hours and another for minutes
• (24 hour mode)
• different clock faces
