Add Analog Wall Clock Project #107
Description
Project Suggestion Title
Wall Clock using Python and Threading
Description
This project is a real-time analog wall clock built using Python’s turtle graphics module. The clock displays hour, minute, and second hands, each updated concurrently using the threading module. The clock face includes numbers, a decorative design, and an AM/PM indicator—all rendered visually using turtle graphics. The hands rotate in sync with actual system time.
Benefits
- Introduces turtle for creative and interactive graphics.
- Demonstrates use of threading to handle real-time concurrency.
- Fun and educational project suitable for beginners and intermediate contributors.
Implementation Ideas
- turtle is used to draw the clock face and hands.
- Each hand (hour, minute, second) runs on a separate thread to simulate continuous movement.
- datetime is used to fetch the current time and calculate hand angles accordingly.
- Design includes layered circular frames and number markings for aesthetic value.
Additional Context
Implemented in a single Python script (clock.py).
Dependencies: turtle, threading, and datetime.
Can be extended with:
- Digital clock overlay
- Custom themes (dark/light mode)
- Alarm feature or tick sounds
