Creating a Simple Clock Animation Using OpenGL | Challenge

# 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/challenge-1/assets/project-creating-a-simple-clock-animation-using-opengl-and-glut.gif) ## 🎯 Tasks In this project, you will learn to: - Set up the project files and libraries. - Create the window and initialize OpenGL. - Draw the clock background and outline. - Rotate the clock to have the 12 o'clock position at the top. - Get the current time and calculate the positions of the clock hands. - Draw the hour, minute, and second hands on the clock. - Resize the window and display the clock in real-time. ## 🏆 Achievements In this project, you will learn: - How to set up and initialize OpenGL and GLUT. - How to draw basic shapes and lines using OpenGL. - How to rotate objects in OpenGL. - How to retrieve the current time and use it to animate objects. - How to handle window resizing and real-time display of graphics.
