Clock

OS in Rust

Your Task

• Implement a clock.
  • Somehow track ticks from the timer.
  • Set the initial time from the keyboard.
• Provide hours, minute, seconds.
  • Don’t worry about overly testing, put test at least seconds.
  • You don’t have to get the clock ticks exact, approximate is fine.

Requirements

• On boot, display a prompt requesting current time.
• Accept 6 decimal digits of a well-formatted time.
  • Delineate however you like - just include it in the prompt.
  • I used SpaceBar to separate hours, minutes, seconds and also terminate.
• Once the 6 decimal digits are input, clear the screen and display a single line of
  • Six decimal digits.
  • You can format it or whatever, up to you.
  • Even use colors I guess.
• It should start at the input time and increase (roughly) every one second.

Aside

• I think you’ll want to diverge significantly from your baseline OS for this, so when you make a new crate and copy things over, you’ll probably want to do any improvements to your OS first, or at least keep anything you learn in mind going into next week.
