What is the point of it?
I wrote this Windows clock as part of the testing of my Black-Standard. It is of little use unless you are also interested in the standard or have some interest in binary clocks or unusual clocks.
It did allow me to develop and refine the segment shape, and test the "in the dark" readability of the standard itself. If you are thinking of building a binary clock this little clock will allow you to "play" with the idea and see if it is worth it.
With the source code (below) you can change the shape and size of the segments to make a personalised Black-Standard binary Windows clock.
See above the clock in its simplest form, no border, no numerals, and "in the dark".
Can you tell the time?
Open-source software code!
I wrote BS Clock 1.0 in Borland C Builder. I have provided the "guts" of the source code here so you can write your own Windows applications. The forms and headers are also provided. If you are skilled in C++ for Windows apps using any major compiler you should be able to get a clock running in an hour or so using the guts from my source code, just create a new project and add the forms, headers and .cpp files, then build it.
Please don't email me saying this source code is clumsy! I know that. It was done in a hurry with minimal commenting etc. Use it as you wish, but don't complain or ask for my help to debug your program!
SOURCE CODE PROVIDED! It is in the .ZIP file with the program itself (below).
Download the Clock!
BS Clock 1.0 works with Win95, Win98, WinXP and probably Vistacide.
It is Freeware which means you can use it for free for personal or corporate use. It is also open-source which means I have provided source code for you to create or modify a windows clock for yourself. All I require is that you credit me as the original creator of this standard and clock software and mention my web page.
