Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hello :)

I have written an UI to build an analog clock with various elements. All the parameters can be setup with this, at the moment there are 5 designs which can be altered as you like. There are 3 sections for dimensions, colours and the clock hands. Every section can be saved to disk or the whole object as a snapshot.

Once you are finished it can be exported as a running basic program with an empty main loop, or only the DIM statements can be generated.

It runs on a 2350 in any resolution for MODE 1 and 2 and it runs in any MODE with resolution 1024 and above.
The program is too big and cannot be loaded from disk in Resolution 800 or 848.

Please test it and leave a comment what you think.

To generate a runtime, a copy of "VGAcD.bas" needs to be on root of A: drive.

The extract will run on RP2040 with ILI9341 or with OPTION LCD320 ON on all others:

Nice to hear that you find it useful! :)

I've corrected a small issue and now the runtime contains some lines of demo code how to use it as a gauge:


edit:
I removed the old zip, this is the new one. Switching between Modes works now correct.
