This clock isn’t what I thought it would be. I think I had a lot of creative ideas that just didn’t completely work out. I wanted to create a pulsing circle based on the minute and have a “second” hand and circle revolve around the center. Every hour, a square would rotate as well. I also wanted all of these shapes to draw over each other. By doing so I could create a cool optical illusion effect which I think I was successful at but there are still bugs in my code that I couldn’t quite resolve. Additionally, wordpress seems to not be able to handle my clock since so much information is being stored and drawn over. My code doesn’t normally freeze when the index is run normally if you want to check: ashleyc1-Section C-Project-06
