Description

I'm sorry, Cspace found that this project was a bit derogatory towards their original project, which really wasn't that bad. Basically, the purpose of this project was to demonstrate how I think that in Cspace's clock project, the timer would be more accurate at keeping time than their original method which consisted mostly of having a wait 1 secs block and change seconds by 1 script in a wait block, also using if blocks to control change of minutes and hours with minimal math (a pretty primitive but moderately valid way of doing it). After analising the scripts, which I had seen being described as "perfect" in the title, I was surprised at what seemed to me a very inefficient way of scripting, something I would probably never do myself. I tried suggesting that the clock was probably slow and that a more accurate method method would involve the timer function and be an improvement over the previous scripts. However, I was surprised when Cspace stated in reply that the timer block was 'lame'. In my defense, I made this project, a modification of Cspace's, to test my hypothesis that the clock was slow and that it was not completely accurate.
