What is a hexclock?



(Not to be confused with the RGBeat Clock)

This 24-hour clock right here changes colors depending on what time it is, in hex (#RRGGBB), in this case, the hours are red, the minutes are green, and the seconds are blue. (in this case, it would be #HHMMSS). Yes, the colors are really dark!

What is the reference?



If you played the game, "Hacknet", before, you would know that there is a hexclock program! Which, as you expect, changes the color of the ui based on what time it is! This is where I first learned about what hexclock is, when i first played the game, and I thought it was pretty neat!!

I won't get into detail on how you obtain this ""app"", (because this isn't the whole point of this topic, you do have to go out and find it)

With all that being said, here are the resources!

I love the idea of both of them, but hexclock is too dark and slow and rgbeat is too fast and bright.

With that said, I think just making one that converts swatch time to percentage of hue would probably be a good middle ground?

hmmm, i wonder which though...

red is hours,
green is minutes,
and blue is seconds...

?? wdym?

I'm proposing just using the swatch time as the hue and keeping the saturation and value at a fixed value.

Maybe to make it a bit faster you could also double the swatch time and make it wrap at 1000?
