Creating a Simple Clock Animation Using OpenGL

# Introduction In this project, we will create a simple clock animation using OpenGL and GLUT (Graphics Library Utility Toolkit). This animation will display a clock with moving clock hands to represent the current time. The clock will update in real-time, simulating the movement of the hour, minute, and second hands. We will start by setting up the project files and then proceed with the necessary code. ## 👀 Preview ![Clock Opengl](https://file.labex.io/namespace/718bace8-27a3-4200-a588-dde4041ceeb9/c/project-creating-a-simple-clock-animation-using-opengl-and-glut/lab-1/assets/project-creating-a-simple-clock-animation-using-opengl-and-glut.gif) ## 🎯 Tasks In this project, you will learn: - How to set up the project files and libraries - How to create the window and initialize OpenGL - How to draw the clock background and outline - How to rotate the clock to have the 12 o'clock position at the top - How to get the current time and calculate the positions of the clock hands - How to draw the hour, minute, and second hands on the clock - How to resize the window and display the clock in real-time ## 🏆 Achievements After completing this project, you will be able to: - Set up and initialize OpenGL and GLUT - Draw basic shapes and lines using OpenGL - Rotate objects in OpenGL - Retrieve the current time and use it to animate objects - Handle window resizing and real-time display of graphics
