IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
Two 'cosmic' clocks, one analogue one digital floating near a planet,
just because it's a cool place to hang out.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
The full source is included in the accompnaying zip file.

I never intended to submit this one, but I liked the idea of a scene
that could change the time displayed easily, ended up playing with it
and liked the way it turned out so here it is.

Clock.inc takes a time in the form of either 0<=time<1 or if you can't
be bothered to work out how far through the day you are then a negative
value gives an integer representation of the time, eg -1356 would be
four minutes to two in the afternoon.

The final images shows this time in three ways, first an LCD style display
is made, the LCD objects are stored in LCD.inc, and LCD_Ext.inc translates
numbers to LCD objects. Secondly an analogue display is built by calculating
the necessary angles, and a similar method is used to calculate the rotation
of the planet.
