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



and colours



Hope you enjoy .

The code for the clock dial can be downloaded here : http://pastebin.com/LGNUpDzz
The code for big ben chimes can be downloaded here : http://pastebin.com/bJEmGyeD

Cheers for such an amazing mod

Fantastic! Will you be uploading the version with the iron note block chimes as well? I need to start building a tower for this.

dude that is awesome! You're one skilled builder and coder...

[coryb2007]

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.

Fantastic bit of code ramdor! Your one skilled lua coder

[redeye83]

Cool! This is actually very nice, and well done.

[xInDiGo]

very cool! may have to use this in my builds!

[ramdor72]

heh thanks guys for the feedback

Yeah, feel free to use it and change it. Put a link to a pic or vid in here if you get it up and running.

[ramdor72]

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.

[cogilv25]

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
