Dig, Clock!

Summary

Dig, Clock! is a menu-driven digital clock, written in Python 2.7, that runs in a Linux terminal. This version can be set to play the Westminster Chimes on every quarter hour.

A suite of unit tests is included.

Features

• Simple menus allow you to choose text color, background color, 12-hour or 24-hour display, and silent or chime mode
• Select all default choices and skip the menus by running with the -d switch
• Utf-8 encoded box-drawing characters make large, clear, gap-less digits
• Timekeeping as accurate as your system clock
• Test Mode (-t switch) lets you start the clock from a specified time, with or without the -d switch
