Polar Clock 3.0 development

pc3.jpg
Just an update of how the development of the next release of the clock is going.

I’ve ported 90% of the engine to actionscript 3.0 now, and begun implementation of a config panel built using Flex Builder 3 (Moxie). I’ve now got the following language implemented: English, Afrikaans, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, Finnish, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portugese, Portugese (Brazil), Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Slovakian, Thai, Turkish and Vietnamese.

I have spoken to a guy at ScreenTime (who make screentime for flash) and they are sending me an updated version for windows in a couple of days, to match up the sizes of the config panels with the latest release for mac. Yeah, I bought screentime for mac + windows!!!

I’m hoping to launch version 3 of the clock on of before 21/07/07. Keep checking for updates!

So far there have been over 40,000 downloads of v1 and 2, it’s much much more popular than I ever expected!

    Love the clock! seriously good piece of design!

    Hows about you release a widget/gadget version for OSx and/or vista? It’d look amazing on a desktop!

    No pressure or anything ;)

    Great Work!

    hi, love the screensaver and have it on my used mac & pc… unfortunatenly i barely use those, is it possible to make a linux screensaver version? i think you mentioned the possibility if there was demand on a previous post, or am i just making that up?

  8. ed / July 10th, 2007 7:59 pm

    “have it on my used mac” dunno why that used is there? think it slipped in from an edit!

  11. ed / July 14th, 2007 7:55 pm

    I’m afraid i don’t, it’s not really my area! I can only tell you what Google would tell me!

    I wonder if it will run under Wine!?

  12. pixelbreaker / July 15th, 2007 12:14 am

    I’ll look into it ed, I’d like to get it as a linux screen saver too

  13. Marty D / July 28th, 2007 2:14 am

    I agree, a Linux screensaver would be much appreciated

    Nice app! Although the Swedish is not always correct, there’s a y where there should be a g in the word for thursday, for example. As a virtual non-programmer, how can I help to fix thaose things?

    Hi and thanks for that nice sceensaver! Any plans to release that for the iphone or other cellphones… please!

    Hi, the screensaver is great.
    One remark only:
    It’s not possible to set a start day of a week. In my country it is Monday, not Sunday.
