I though you might be interested in a build a friend and I are working on at the moment. We wanted to have a working clock dial on our clock tower so I started working on a ComputerCraft implementation.

We built a fairly loose representation of The Elizabeth Tower which houses Big Ben in London. Here are a couple of videos :)





and now with chimes :D



and colours

Hope you enjoy :).

Cheers for such an amazing mod :)

Quick question, does this clock have to be 6x6 monitors, I am asking cause I was curious if it could be smaller or if it was hard coded. Never mind looked at the code and answered my own question.

Recently updated this to calculate best fit/size on startup, and to use 0.5 font scale to increase the resolution. Links in original post are still valid.

Cheers.

Changed a bunch of stuff today.

Re-worked the circle code, added colour support and it now finds an attached monitor.

this is pretty epic! why are there creeper heads on your mini map..?

EDIT: the only problem I can see is if you have more than one monitor it will only display to one of them
