Seven-segment clock (`7clock`)

==============================

This is a clock for terminals that uses the Unicode seven-segment display characters added in Unicode 13.0.

It runs on most commonly used operating systems, including BSD, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

You need to have a font installed that has glyphs for the seven-segment display characters. I use

[PragmataPro](https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/). Another option is [Iosevka](https://typeof.net/Iosevka/).

**Note:** It doesn't actually cycle through colours when it's running, that was just for demonstration in the video.

Building

--------

[![Build Status](https://api.cirrus-ci.com/github/wezm/7clock.svg)](https://cirrus-ci.com/github/wezm/7clock)

Ensure you have [installed the Rust compiler][install-rust], then:

```

cargo build --release --locked

```

Running

-------

After building the binary will be at `target/release/7clock`.

Run the binary to get the default 12-hour clock without seconds. The following

options are supported:

* `-24` — use 24-hour time

* `--colour` — set the colour of the clock (see `--help` for more info)

* `--seconds` — display seconds
