Digital Console Clock

A C++ console clock with zero-padded time, colorized seconds, and a clean class-based design.

Overview

The Digital Console Clock is a lightweight C++ program that turns your Windows terminal into a live, real-time clock.
I built it to sharpen my skills with:

• Modern C++17 (<chrono>, <thread>, <iomanip>)
• Windows-specific console APIs (SetConsoleTextAttribute)
• Modular, header-driven class design

Build Instructions

Open a Developer PowerShell or comand prompt in the project folder and compile both source files:

# Using MinGW g++
g++ main.cpp clock.cpp -o clock.exe

Usage

./clock.exe

Enter the starting hour (0–23), minute (0–59), and second (0–59).

Watch the clock update every second.

Press Ctrl + C to stop.
