serinal – project 06 (section C)

For this abstract clock assignment, I used the base of my extra credit regular clock code and altered it a bit. I wanted it to resemble a bit of a flower (which is hopefully indicative through the colors as well). My sketch up made it seem really complex, but when I actually started to code it, it seemed to work out pretty well. I wanted everything to stay until it made a full circle and since it’s a 24 hour clock, the seconds is the clearest indicator of it constantly disappearing and reappearing.
