A Shell script that displays an ASCII-style clock in the terminal

How it works:

It checks the system time, clears the terminal, reads the current time, formats the time into ASCII with a given representation, and prints the clock, repeating every second to stay on track.

• The script is also able to display seconds when edited.
• to run 24h format the time should be set like that in the system

Example:

Some challenges:

I found it challenging to implement the ability to display the clock in the middle of the terminal window (an upcoming feature) and create ASCII art of different sizes to have versatile sizes.

Upcoming features

• Adaptive to window size
• Center on the window
• Customizable colours
• Maybe also RGB puke
• Other time zones
• Time and stopwatch
• User interface to change values of the features above

File content:

• LICENSE
• README.md
• clock.sh (new shell rebase)
• time2.py (legacy)

How to run:

• Go to terminal and run the sh file like so: sh /path/to/shell/script
