MC_Clock

This project turns your Raspberry Pi 5 into a functional Minecraft-themed clock. It utilizes a 5-inch round display, Pygame, and Python libraries to create a visual clock that rotates the iconic Minecraft clock image based on the current time of day.

Features

• Real-Time Clock: The clock displays the current time in a 12-hour format, where noon (12:00 PM) corresponds to 0 degrees, and midnight (12:00 AM) corresponds to 180 degrees.

• Custom Image Mapping: Uses the Minecraft clock image (mapped2.png), which rotates smoothly to reflect the current time.

• Grid-Based Resampling: The image is divided into a 10x10 grid, and each grid cell's color is resampled based on the most common color in that region.

• Debug Mode: Allows for easy development and testing by setting custom time values.
