Snack Break Problem #13

Hello! We're back with another Snack Break problem this week (sorry for the delay!). This week's task is to create an analog clock with parts in ROBLOX. This challenge will be easier for skilled scripters, but should be a learning experience for those new to Lua and ROBLOX!

Clock


Requirements

  • The clock must have three hands (hours, minutes, and seconds)
  • The clock must reflect the current, real-life time (bonus points if you allow the timezone to be switched)

Conclusion

The answer to this problem will be published in the next Snack Break post. Those who post a link to a ROBLOX place with their working solution in the comments below will receive a shout out in the next post!

Something, something, there: https://www.roblox.com/games/44035718/Analog-clock-Snack-break-13 Will copy unlock when challenge is over, all fun will be lost if it is spoiled too soon.

@ZarsBranchkin I put my timezone in (-5), yet it was an hour behind. Be sure to fix!

I think it might be due to the summer daylight saving or something. Right now ETC is at -4. Same with my timezone, usually it's +2, but I checked online and it is +3 now.

https://www.roblox.com/games/187020619/Basic-Analog-Clock Tells you your timezone time. Only took 25 lines of code. I finished my basic clock. I might go for the bonus points if I get enough motivation.
