Pong Clock

About

This is a clock that uses the game of Pong to tell the time.

It was originally a HTML5 + JS version by The Silvervest Group Labs (see http://www.reddit.com/r/web_design/comments/f6xff/html5js_pong_clock/)

I've ported to Chicken Scheme + GLUT/OpenGL (http://github.com/ZaneA/PongClock)

To run it, you'll need Chicken Scheme, with a couple of Eggs (chicken-install gl and glut).

Then, cd to this folder, and run (this is what I used, ymmv): csc clock.scm -LGLU

Now you can do ./clock (or ./clock -s for screensaver mode) and see it in all its beauty :)

TODO

  • Use a proper font
  • Sounds?

pongclock's Issues

Screensaver mode crashes application (Windows 7 Enterprise)

as far as i can tell this issue only appears on win7 enterprise with amd64 chip (seems to be an issue with glut...)

crash occurs during execution of line 57 (clock.scm) --> (glut:FullScreen) internally in glut library

same problem seems to be also present in C/C++ apps using glut (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12205090/why-glutfullscreen-crashes-for-subwindow-on-win7-enterprise)

maybe a newer version of glut got this problem fixed (i didnt do any reseach in this direction).

would be cool, if you could find a way to fix this issue (our department is forced to use win7 enterp. and we want that goddamn screensaver! 😄
