This is a repository for my P5JS representation of a clock.
Starting on this project proved to be more daunting than I originally thought. This project was done for Creative Coding at the University of Mary Washington. I am still learning Processing and find myself questioning everything I type because this is the first class I have taken in college that revolves so heavily around coding. I came up with several ideas that I am still interested in trying, but since they proved too complicated for a beginner I decided to take it slow. For my clock I came up with something quite simple. Our professor encoruaged us to move away from the idea of time as a circular construct (which is much harder than it sounds, let me tell you) and generate a clock that tells time in Open Processing. My final idea comes in the form of my "Simple Line Clock" on Open Processing. I took basic inspiraction for this clock from my professor, Zach Whalen, and from p5js.org which has an amazing online library that is searchable for whatever code you may be looking for. Since I'm still learning Processing, I thought a simple line-based clock would be excellent for this project. Basically, I made a cloack that tells time using three lines with circualr "sliders" instead of a circular clock face. The only outside knowledge I used in creating this was the instructions my professor gave in using the hour(), minute(), and second() commands. From there I look up everythuing else on p5js.org to draw the lines and generate the background.
Please give this project a look! I plan to try an improve it in the near future, but for now this is what I have!
