# MultiClock

MultiClock is a screensaver for macOS that displays the current time using 24 clocks. MultiClock is very configurable, with a variety of hand and dial styles and the ability to customize the color of each independently.

## Preview

*Note: This gif has a low framerate. The screensaver itself operates at a fluid 60 FPS.*

## Download

* [Download MultiClock v1.1 for macOS](https://amiantos.s3.amazonaws.com/multiclock-1.1.zip)

## FAQ

*What about 24-hour time support?*

If you have macOS set to 24-hour time, the screensaver will automatically use 24-hour time as well.

## Development

1. Clone the repo

2. Open `MultiClock.xcodeproj`

3. The 'macOS' build target allows you to preview the screensaver and control it manually. Take a look at the bottom of `ClockScene.swift` to see some keyboard shortcuts. Add your own to test out animations!

### Adding Animations

If you'd like to add animations to ClockSaver, the public methods on the `Animation` class make it easy--they're very similar to SKActions. For example, a sequence of animations may look like this:

```swift

queue(animations: [

    Animation.display(pattern: inwardPointPattern),

    Animation.wait(duration: 5),

    Animation.positionBothHands(minuteDegrees: -45, hourDegrees: -225),

    Animation.spinBothHandsWithDelay(by: 180, delay: 0.2),

    Animation.currentTimeClock(),

    Animation.wait(duration: 5),

    Animation.positionBothHands(minuteDegrees: -225, hourDegrees: -225),

    Animation.positionBothHands(minuteDegrees: 0, hourDegrees: 0),

    Animation.currentTimePrint(),

])

```

Completed animations should go in `ClockController.swift`. Add another integer to `allAnimations` at the top, and add a new `case` to the `switch` down below. Then submit a PR if you think the animation is cool :)

*Why are all the degree references in negative?* Because I'm too lazy to go back and make them positive after reworking the animation system. Submit a PR fixing it, if you want!
