Building a Digital Clock without Flash or Images
As a continuation of yesterday’s post wherein I built an analog clock without flash or images, I am going to do something much easier today: build a digital clock. This will be another component to the game I’m building for Thing1.

Let’s not worry about it being totally hideous right now, emkay?
