I had just finished swapping out my clunky send...in loop code for
something similar to yours when I checked mail and saw yours. I took
two steps:
put the long seconds into t
send in (something based on t - trunc(t)
Your method of the long seconds mod 1 is of course much better. But
you don't have to convert to ticks. Sending in a fraction of a second
works fine and reads better imho.
So here's what I have up now. This generally hits within a thousandth
of a second:
on openCard
setTime
end openCard
on setTime
put word 1 of the long time into T
put T && the long seconds into fld "time"
set the itemDelimiter to ":"
set the startangle of grc "hour" to 90 - (30 * item 1 of T) -
(item 2 of T) / 2
set the startangle of grc "minute" to 90 - (6 * item 2 of T) -
(item 3 of T) / 10
set the startangle of grc "second" to 90 - (6 * item 3 of T)
send "setTime" to me in (1 - (the long seconds mod 1)) seconds
end setTime
As before, the stack is available by executing this in the message box:
go stack url "http://www.inspiredlogic.com/rev/clock.rev";

I love this clock example. Just so simple. You guys are great! I
could not resist seeing how the thinking was progressing and took
it to the next step. Fewer lines, more accuracy (I have often
noted that the simplest most elegant solutions take the most time
to create and the least time to understand). As Ben suggested,
this clock should be a standard example for new users to look at.
I will also add it to my revOnline user area (see3d) as soon as
today's connect problem is fixed.
