BSF Clock v2: IT LIVES!

[STARSTRUCK]

That's right, I've gone and built one of those fucking hipster nixie tube clocks in BSF. Depressingly, it only works in the shipmaker preview right now, but maybe some day I'll gather the energy to remake it in a less crappy fashion.

Attached to this post are the .sb4 and sprites. If you'd like, you can adapt it or build a ship around it. Go crazy.

Haha that is awesome actually. I'm sure people would help work out the triggers so it actually keeps time. I would so put that as my desktop. Now go make a Rube Goldberg machine.

That is awesome. Made of pure win.

Well, the fixed version is finally completed. It will run for 60 minutes before looping back to zero... in theory. The exposed skittle bits serve to show off the stacked counter mechanism that powers the clock.


It is at once total perfection and utter chaos in its purest form. It's beautiful. Like a fractal or some shit. Or sleep paralysis. Whatever, I'm done being poetic.

Attached are a "real time" version that runs at 30 frames to a second, and an accelerated version that runs at 2 frames to a second. Technically, if I could be arsed to unfuck the .sb4, I could set any arbitrary length of a second simply by changing the speed of the orange counter. But I couldn't be arsed. So there.

dude..... this is awesome, soooo many triggers....

I love how you kept design in mind during its construction.

I love the idea, but it doesn't seem to work on my machine. All the numbers show up at the same time, resulting in 4 glowing blobs of light.
