The idea is fascinating, and the code is well designed. However, I don't find this scroll clock to be nearly as attractive as the words only clock that was posted on here about a month ago.

Browser version:

Yes, I remember that version. Too bad I have neither an Arduino controller nor the time to mess around with a project like that.

Also uses mootools:

Mootools is very nice, not least because of the quality of their documentation. In my experience it's cross browser support is great too.

It's just so fun to watch the time tick.

Some people have a lot of time on their hands! Seriously though, this is classic. The source looks nice, and OO as well. Nice job Quentin!

I find that many programmers tend to use OO in javascript for everything they do, even when there is no call for neither inheritance nor multiple instances.

Prototypal inheritance in JavaScript is Object-Oriented, it's just not classical.

[mhansen → dylanz]

Interesting that it uses class-based inheritance in JavaScript. I wonder what this would look like, if it were done with prototypes.

I'm a little upset that there aren't little scroll bar colons separating the hours/minutes/seconds.
