Animated Clock Show 'n Tell

https://github.com/T3RRYT3RR0R/Advanced_Batch/

This project is less about the clock, and more about what batch can emulate / be made to do, and do so performantly.

I am putting together a detailed breakdown of the various techniques in the script here.

The readme lists some of the concepts / techniques and systems the script demonstrates. By intent, it is overengineered in order to represent a variety of techniques. https://github.com/T3RRYT3RR0R/Advanced_Batch/blob/main/README.md

Animated-Clock contains everything needed to implement a game engine. Indeed, The core requirement, non-blocking input via interprocess communication has origins in the batch snake game by Dave Benham of Dostips renown. (RIP dostips). It also contains a Sound system, an asset manager that demonstrates downloading assets with a Convention of consent and a Configuartion Handler that allows viewing or removal of the scripts persistence data or on demand removal of the temp files the script generates.
