 INTRODUCTION

RUNTIME PENDULUM CLOCK

A runtime pendulum clock in computer graphics is a captivating fusion of

traditional timekeeping and modern technology. It brings the classic charm of a
pendulum clock to life in a digital format. This dynamic creation not only
displays the current time but also adds an element of realism through the
rhythmic pendulum motion, all within the realm of computer graphics. This
passage provides an introduction to the concept and explores its key elements.

*Dynamic Time Display*: At the heart of the runtime pendulum clock is its
ability to continuously and accurately display the current time, just like a
traditional clock. The hour, minute, and second hands move in real-time,
ensuring that the displayed time is always precise.

*Pendulum Motion*: One of the defining features of a pendulum clock is the

soothing and mesmerizing swing of the pendulum. In a runtime pendulum
clock, this motion is meticulously simulated using computer graphics
techniques. The pendulum gracefully sways back and forth, adding a touch of
authenticity.

*Graphical Elements*: The clock's graphical design includes components

such as the clock face, hands, numerals, and the pendulum itself. These
elements are not just static images; they are dynamic and responsive to the
passage of time, creating a visually appealing and immersive experience.

*User Interaction*: Some runtime pendulum clocks offer user interaction,

allowing individuals to set the time, customize the clock's appearance, or even
experiment with different styles. This interactivity enhances the clock's
functionality and personalization.
*Rendering and Animation*: The magic happens through rendering and
animation techniques in computer graphics. Libraries and tools like OpenGL,
SDL, or HTML5 canvas enable the rendering of graphical elements and the
creation of realistic animations, including the pendulum's graceful swing.

*Background and Atmosphere*: The clock's presentation is not limited to

just the time display. It can be positioned in various settings or against different
backgrounds to create a specific ambiance. Lighting and surroundings can be
adjusted to set the mood and enhance the clock's realism.

*Educational and Decorative Value*: Beyond being a functional timekeeping

device, a runtime pendulum clock has educational and decorative significance.
It can be incorporated into educational software to teach concepts of time and
physics. Moreover, it serves as a beautiful decorative element on computer
screens and desktops.

*Technical Challenges and Optimization*: Creating a runtime pendulum

clock involves addressing technical challenges. Achieving smooth animations
and optimizing resource usage are crucial to ensure the clock runs seamlessly
on different platforms.

In summary, a runtime pendulum clock in computer graphics marries

the elegance of traditional horology with the capabilities of modern technology.
It brings forth a captivating and functional timepiece that not only tells time but
also immerses viewers in the enchanting world of a pendulum's gentle sway.
Whether used for educational purposes, decorative flair, or simply as a
delightful addition to digital environments, a runtime pendulum clock is a
testament to the harmonious blend of art and technology.

Algorithm
 Include necessary header files:<conio.h> for console I/O
functions.<dos.h> for delay function.<stdio.h> for standard I/O
functions.<time.h> for time-related functions.
 Define the drawPendulumClock function that takes three integer
parameters: hour, minute, and second. This function will be responsible
for drawing the pendulum clock.Inside the drawPendulumClock
function:Clear the console screen using clrscr().Display a header for
the clock.Print the current time in the format "HH:MM:SS".
 In the main function:Initialize hour, minute, and second variables.Enter
a while loop that continues until a key is pressed (using kbhit()
function).Inside the loop:Get the current time by calling time and
localtime.Extract the hour, minute, and second from the current
time.Call the drawPendulumClock function to display the clock with
the current time.Delay for 1 second using the delay function to update
the clock every second.
 Return 0 to indicate successful program completion.
