Colour Clock 5

An animated clock using colours. Blobs at the end of the hour, minute, and second regions change colours over time (red = 12, yellow = 3, green = 6, blue = 9).



My idea was that this might help younger children to tell the time without having to know what numbers mean (e.g. it's yellow and orange).



I have also implemented a sine-wave second "tick", and stuck the minute hand to integer positions (in a somewhat similar fashion to the DB clocks in Germany). This makes the clock a bit more interesting, because each hand tells the time in a different way.



[Update frequency is 100ms, but can be changed by editing the changeTime timeout at the end of the changeTime function.]
