This project is used to make and compare different clocks. You can look at the time on a clock made for another planet. -------------------------Please read all of the instructions.-------------------------- Here are the keys to press: -[Space]: show different parameters (either showing parameters for the first clock, showing them for the second clock, or hiding). You may only adjust shown parameters. -[Up/Down Arrows]: change speed (Speed will change more quickly if it is faster to begin with.) -[S]: enter speed manually -[Left/Right Arrows]: switch to a preset (There are 10 presets with one for each planet, pluto, and decimal time. Planetary presets will only change speed. The default preset is earth.) -[M]: change mode between am/pm and full-day analog clocks. Digital clocks always show a full day. Only the clock with shown parameters will change modes. -[C]: change color -For all key presses except for changing the color, only the clock with shown parameters will be adjusted.
-This is my first 100% pen project. -Decimal time uses 10 hours/day, 100 minutes/hour, and 100 seconds/minute. Decimal time clocks show full days so I made them show a 10-hour day here. -The presets for the planets are based on the solar day (or syndonic period) measured on the planet because it is used to keep time. The sidereal day is different and the difference can be significant. For example, Venus has a solar day of 116.75 Earth days but a sidereal day of 243.02 Earth days. On earth, the solar day is 24 hours and the sidereal day is about 23 hours and 56 minutes. -I used this to find the day lengths: http://cseligman.com/text/sky/rotationvsday.htm -I used this Scratch wiki article for the code that adds the thumbnail back at the end: https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Stop_sign_detector -I used this website to make sure that my decimal time is correct: http://minkukel.com/scripts/metric-clock/
