clockery (rust)

A fully rewritten Clockery in Rust programming language for performance boost and fun reasons

Preparation

Linux

Install libpng-dev, libsdl2-dev, libsdl2-ttf-dev

Windows

You have to follow this guide and have Microsoft Build Tools installed.

Building

Building on Windows

1. cargo install cargo-vcpkg
2. cargo vcpkg -v build
3. cargo build -r

Building on Linux

Install dependencies in Preparation

1. cargo build -r

Windows does statically link the binary but I am NOT too sure with Linux's.

Usage

Either run the binary and it will create config.json for you to configure things about it.

It should looks like this

{
    "am_pm": true,
    "clocks": [
        "local"
    ],
    "revert": false,
    "snow_enable": true,
    "snow_limit": 200
}

• am_pm is a bool where it either shows time in 24 hours format OR 12 hours format. (Thanks Poiuu for suggestion) Can be either enabled or disabled with A key.
• clocks is a list of strings where those strings must be a timezone names, please select from this
  You MUST type the highlighted part
  
• revert is a bool where it either revert all colors in the program. (kinda like light/dark mode) Can be either enabled or disabled with R key.
• snow_enable is a bool where will it shows the "snow" particles falling from the top of the screen and limits based on snow_limit. Can be either enabled or disabled with S key.
• snow_limit is an integer where it will limit amount of snows shown on the screen. Mind you that this will be equally divded by amount of clocks, so if this value is set for 200 and there's 4 clocks to show it would be 200 / 4 = 50 snows per clock surface

Special Keybinds

Escape and CTRL+C will close the program and save the configuration to disk.
Q will reload configuration off the disk.

CLI

Run ./opengl_clockery -h for help information.

• -f, --fps <FPS></FPS> is for limiting FPS. Defaults to unlimited.
• -l, --list-gpu-renderers is for listing all GPU rendering backends.
• -s, --selected-gpu-renderer <SELECTED_GPU_RENDERER> is for selecting a GPU rendering backend. It is optionally and this flag is only for you to enforce which GPU renderer you wanted.
