Title: Starfield Clock
Post by: SierraKen on December 11, 2020, 09:33:56 pm

Here is my first Starfield analog clock. I used my recent Starfield to make a backdrop of an analog clock. In order for everything to keep moving, I couldn't use the same chime sound as my older clocks, so instead I used the PLAY command with the "MB" in the string to play in the background. The sound isn't as good but at least it's something. :) The hardest thing on this was figuring out how to stop the PLAY command, so I had to make a done variable to make it stop chiming every hour. Believe me, I tried everything else I knew. lol
Anyways, enjoy the clock :). Also, you can still speed up and slow down with the stars but the clock stays the same speed. You can also still use the FullScreen move by pressing the Space Bar. I had to change the green circle that flies around the clock to look more like a circle in FullScreen mode, but that is only with the shape of my monitor, so it would look a bit different with other monitors, hopefully not too different.

Great idea to combine Starfield with clock and I like the circles going round.

Ken,

I was going to suggest having a "Stardate" clock combined with your star-field.... Until I saw the math involved in converting from real time... Yikes!

I like what you have done! Will it eventually have an 'alarm' and, more importantly, a 'snooze' button?

LOL Johnno, the funny thing about Stardates is that the original series mostly did it at random I heard, and the rest of the Star Trek shows did it some other weird way. I tested some websites about it a long time ago and they were all different from each other's outcomes. lol
Hmm I would make an alarm but I don't think I would ever use it. I use a timer program on my computer that beeps after a certain amount of time and I have my alarm in my bedroom and that's all I need. Thanks for the idea though.

Stardates were roughly based on seasons of a series...

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/68741/how-do-star-trek-stardates-work

A stardate is a five-digit number followed by a decimal point and one more digit. Example: "41254.7." The first two digits of the stardate are always "41." The 4 stands for 24th century, the 1 indicates first season. The additional three leading digits will progress unevenly during the course of the season from 000 to 999. The digit following the decimal point is generally regarded as a day counter.

*****

A Stardate is a five-digit number followed by a decimal point and one more digit. Example: "46254.7". The first two digits of the Stardate are "46." The 4 stands for the 24th Century, the 6 indicates sixth season. The following three digits will progress consecutively during the course of the season from 000 to 999. The digit following the decimal point counts tenths of a day. Stardate 45254.4, therefore, represents the noon hour on the 254th "day" of the fifth season. Because Stardates in the 24th Century are based on a complex mathematical formula, a precise correlation to Earth-based dating systems is not possible.

Converting to the latest stardate format of the last films seems simple enough:

The stardate format from the latest film series is credited to screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. According to Orci, they "used the system where, for example, 2233.45 or whatever means 23rd century, 33rd year of that century, and the .45 indicates the day of the year out of 365 days." During a Q&A session, Orci restated that a stardate is "the year, as in 2233, with the month and day expressed as a decimal point from .1 to .365 (as in the 365 days of the year)." He posted a similar reply on Twitter: "star date=standard year, with decimal representing day of year from 1-365."

Thanks Steve. Yeah I agree it's not possible for precise calculation, unless you make up your own way, like they did with the movies. I mean, what about leap year? lol

Hi @SierraKen. Your Starfield clock is good enough without this, but Just for the heck of it I tried to do what you asked about in the Holiday thread here (https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=3332.msg126766#msg126766). This one uses one of the sound files in the SPLAY program I posted, so you will need that or change the filename.

I marked the changes I made in the code with a #Dav tag for easy finding. Just for fun, I added _ICON _DISPLAY here, instead of just _DISPLAY, so the clock movement shows in the task bar icon, but sometimes the app crashes doing that so I changed it back. I guess _ICON just isn't meant to be called so frequently.

Anyway, your clock code is great.

- Dav

Edit: I used _SNDPLAYFILE here, but probably _SNDPLAY would be better and not cause that barely visual delay when the sound starts playing.

Dang just missed 12 noon chime!

Someone forgot to get starx, stary dimensioned.

Oh this wont work either

Code: QB64: [Select]

 hou = 12: minu = 0: secon = 0 

Missing sound files. :P

Dang Dav that's genius! I was close, but not close enough. :) One thing though, for some reason you left out 2 DIM statements which errors the program on running it. It's these on top: DIM starx(1000), stary(1000) , so I put them back in.

B+, and anyone else, if you want to test the chimes at any time, first calculate how far back in minutes it was until the last hour, for example, if it is 9:51 AM, use the number 52. Then add this on LINE 49: minu = minu - 52. Then it will chime when the clock strikes the next minute. Or it might be better to use the number 53 (2 numbers higher than the current minute), so the clock thinks it's 2 minutes before the hour it already is. Then you run it and wait less than 2 minutes and then it will chime.

Here is the zipped up file with the g1.ogg and the program. Put both files in the same directory. I renamed it to Starfield Clock 2. Thanks again Dav!

Dang! the ogg must be in same folder as source, Explorer dies!

Sorry B+, I thought people would know to put all files in the same directory. But yeah, I changed his code to mine because not all people will get his Christmas song.
Edit: I just added that to the post above for people to put both files in the same directory.

Normally (without oggs) that should be fine, teaches me to be more careful in future.

Time to build a File Explorer of my own anyway!

I apologize for naming them .ogg in the first place. I just remember something important - you don't have to have the .ogg extension for QB64 to play them. I could have named them .xzy or anything. In the future I won't name them .ogg.

Oh hey! what an interesting is idea, I probably don't use them for anything else but QB64 so that would be great if it works. I could fix my BlackJack folder for experiment.
