This is a basic clock and calculator app that represents all numbers using base 12. The characters are designed after the ingenious Kaktovik Iñupiaq numerals, which were created by a group of middle schoolers in Kaktovik Alaska, to represent the base 20 counting system in Iñupiaq, their Inuit language. I take no credit for the design of the characters. I have merely co-opted the design for the development of this project because it is elegant and convenient to use for compound base number systems, and looks nothing like the Arabic numeral system.

I had grander plans for this program, but once I got into the details of how to construct event handlers for the mouse, and discovered that singletons are not allowed in Processing, I decided to postpone this project indefinitely. I am currently learning Vulkan and C++, and I hope to do more UI stuff using that at some point in the future, so I will probably remake this project someday, but until then this is all there is.
