This is my sketch for my clock about my ex boyfriend, In Bad Taste. It is a collage of my resentment that he liked video games more than me, that I wasn’t invited on this vacation to Sedona, and how frequently he called me a bad girlfriend. Alas.

Here is my inspiration for the project.

 

 

The slot machine/ clock rotates with the time of day. When the digits of the clock are the same balloons pop up letting you know that the time is now.

 

// Global variables. 
 
PImage bg;
PImage fg;
PImage armChair;
PImage slotMachine;
PImage the;
PImage time;
PImage is;
PImage now;
PImage cherry;
PImage[] numbers = new PImage[10];
int x;
int y;
 
 
 
 
void setup() {
  size (1000, 600); 
  frameRate(60);
  bg = loadImage("background.png");
  fg = loadImage("foreground.png");
  armChair = loadImage("armChair.png");
  slotMachine = loadImage("slotMachine.png");
  the = loadImage("the.png");
  time = loadImage("time.png");
  is = loadImage("is.png");
  now = loadImage("now.png");
  cherry = loadImage("cherry.png");
  for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
     numbers[i] = loadImage(str(i) + ".png"); 
  }
}
 
float clamp(float x, float min, float max) {
  if(x < min) return min; if(x > max) return max;
  return x;
}

  float hr = hour();
  float mn = minute();
  float sc = second();
  float ml = (float)(System.currentTimeMillis() % 60000);
 
  sc = ml * 0.001;
  background(0);
