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 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. +The current functionality includes a clock, stopwatch, and timer, all of which run slower than normal time, as days are broken into 24 hours/day, 48 minutes/hour, and 48 seconds/minute. Also included is a calculator for doing math operations in base 12. -The project is currently in the stage where I am building all of the component parts, so the code does not yet do much when run. +The number system is such that horizontal ticks on top represent multiples of four, and vertical ticks represent multiples of one. Decimal 11 is 2 horizontal ticks, and 3 vertical ticks. (8 + 3) -The time system is now complete with robust syncing and offset features. The base 12 time system works slightly differently from our regular base 60 time. - - Hours are still 24, but because it's in base 12, 10 is noon. - Minutes: there are now 48 minutes in an hour - Seconds: there are now 48 seconds in a minute - -The number system is such that horizontal ticks on top represent multiples of four, and vertical ticks represent multiples of one.

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.
