NAME

tbclock - binary clock with some fun features

SYNOPSIS

tbclock [-abdefpvh] [-HMST color] [-m module]

DESCRIPTION

tbclock is a fullscreen terminal clock that displays time in a binary fashion or another. It features a few modules and games to play with binary displayed time. By default the lines are horizontal and shows hours, minutes and seconds, you can switch to a different behaviour with -a, see below.

The options are as follows:

-v: Display version information.
-f: By default, if the terminal is big enough, tbclock draws a frame around the terminal with its version in the top-right corner. This option disable this behavior.
-b: By default, if the terminal is big enough, tbclock draws a little space between each blocks to ease the reading, use this switch to disable this little space.
-d: Do not display the dots where the bit is NUL on the clock.
-a: Switch tbclock to display binary times in a different fashion, easier for some people, one line per 'decimal digit' and vertical.
-e: Switch tbclock to display decimal helpers. One -H will display side help, -HH will display a decimal clock under the binary clock, -HHH will display both. You can alternatively use the 'h' key to switch between modes.
-m <module>: tbclock features games and tools related to binary clock reading, each module will have its own keyboard bindings, check in the next section for more information.
-H, -M, -S, -T <color>: Those options changes the color of blocks. It takes a numeric option between 0 and 7, those numbers are directly copied from ncurses.h, here are their meaning :
0: Black 4: Blue
1: Red 5: Magenta
2: Green 6: Cyan
3: Yellow 7: White
-p: Force tbclock to use 12 hours display instead of 24, am/pm will not be shown.

MODULES

clock: This is the default module, it displays the current time. The 'h' key will switch between different decimal hint modes. 'a' key will switch between the two different display modes 'vertical' and 'horizontal'. Any other key will quit.
chrono: This module will run a timer from 0 to whatever you need. You can press the Spacebar at any time to pause the timer, and BackSpace to reset it. Any other key will quit. This module has an extra binary line that shows tenth of seconds, this might makes some slow terminal flicker. 'h' key will switch on/off different reading helps, 'a' will switch between display modes.
guessbin: This game displays a binary time and ask you its decimal equivalent. To answer you have to fill the time in this form : "HH:MM:SS". The difficulty only changes the answer delay and the amount of points you get. This module is not affected by -f, -b or -H.
