Re: Replace your clock with a Go board!

If the "base" of each hand is the same color, and only the tip is the other color, when two or more hands align, you'll be able to tell which hands are aligned by the pattern of the colors.

Interesting idea, thanks. Your diagrams had the hour hand the longest which wouldn't work. It really needs ...

Re: Replace your clock with a Go board!

It would be awkward to include on your own site at the moment, but it's a good idea. I would have to do some work separating out the implementation from the interface and documenting an API, but that sounds fun (or at least worthwhile).

Re: Replace your clock with a Go board!

I did experiment with having a second hand but it looked confusing - there just aren't enough spaces on the board to have three distinguishable hands.

There are two digital versions already there - just click on the board to switch between them. The one below is showing 10:02:40 and changes every ...

Replace your clock with a Go board!

Hi all,

I've written a little website with a virtual Go board that tells the time, and thought I'd share it with a wider audience:

It's rather silly and meant to be purely decorative.
