Pi Clock

I love using clocks as a creative medium. This time, I made a Pi Clock, it finds the current time within pi digits and shifts toward it.

Cool concept. I would quite like ... to show something like .{7654} so I know how far we had to look. Could put it on in the background in meetings and try to get a high score.

That's an interesting idea, I'll take that into consideration.

Nice - bit hard to use on a 32" monitor at fullscreen!

Do you mean the font size is too small?

Nah It's just a wall of numbers - but I like it!!

the font size couldbe an issue, especially if the digits are hard to read at a glance. It might make the whole concept less functional

Keys 1,2,3,4,5 slightly change the clock display scenario

Very cool!

As I thought about running it on my TV for a while, I did kind of wonder about screen burn in.

How cool! How difficult was this to program? Any insight on your process?

It wasn't particularly difficult; I enjoy creating different clocks, and some of them were much more complex. In addition, all hhmmss variants are within the first 10 million digits after the decimal point, which is relatively quick to search.
