Following along with the odd clock theme that seems to be popular lately, I have come up with a BCD clock to add to the collection. It's a 24 hour clock, you can modify it to a 12 hour clock, but it's not as interesting that way. This clock can be changed to display milliseconds by changing one variable at the start of the Main function, there are comments describing that. In my opinion I wouldn't have it display the mseconds because they change too fast to keep track of, it looks terrible, and flickers BADLY. The way the clock is set up currently, it displays one icon for the light being "off" and another for it being "on". You can use whatever icons for these that you'd like instead of the ones in the zip file. Change the variables in the Global declaration at the start of the script to whatever you'd like. Another variation that you can use is to set the "off" icon to a blank file name and then it will only turn on the lights that are supposed to be on, and there will be empty spaces for the off icons. If nothing else, at least you'll learn binary and/or BCD numbers. Updated: Corrected the issue with the seconds for the number 7. BCD Clock.zip
