Fibonacci Clock+ — Feature Highlights Core Clock • Full-screen Fibonacci clock: 5 tiles (1, 1, 2, 3, 5) that light up in different colors to show the current time • Reads hours from red + yellow tiles, minutes (in 5-min steps) from green + yellow tiles • Auto-updating live, second-by-second Digital Time Companion • Toggleable digital time pill in the top nav • Tap to switch between 12-hour (AM/PM) and 24-hour (military) formats • Preference remembered across launches 5 Watch Themes (persisted) • Classic — walnut wooden frame, painted tiles • Military — tactical olive • Doctor — clean clinical white • Navy — deep maritime blue • Digital — glowing neon retro Calculation Panel • Slide-out left panel shows the math: e.g. "12h = 2 red + 8 yellow", "25 min = (3 green + 2 yellow) × 5" • Learn how Fibonacci addition builds every time Interactive Physics Playground • Extra minutes (0–4 leftover) appear as floating icons • Star mode: zero-gravity — drift freely • Football mode: real gravity + bounce • Drag and fling icons with momentum • Icon-to-icon collisions with visual ring + haptic feedback Music & Sound • Built-in ambient "Quiet Morning" loop • Pick songs from your iPhone Music Library via MusicKit • Compact transport pill: shuffle · previous · play/pause · next · loop • All persists — loop and shuffle preferences remembered • Optional hourly chime Interactive Info Sheet • Mini-clock demo with sliders — set any hour & minute to see how the tiles decompose • "Now" button snaps the demo back to real time Polish • Landscape-locked, immersive full-viewport layout • Idle timer disabled so the clock never dims • Smooth theme transitions and spring animations • Reserved safe zones so controls, digital time and banner never overlap the clock Version 3.0.0 Fibonacci Clock+:  To get the time you need some math. The view of the clock is made up of five squares whose side lengths match the first five Fibonacci numbers: 1, 1, 2, 3 and 5. The hours are displayed using red and the minutes using green. When a square is used to display both the hours and minutes it turns Yellow(Red + Green). Black squares are ignored. Minute Box(Green Or Yellow): represents 5 mins Hour Box(Red Or Yellow): represents 1 hrs. The remaining minutes are represented by stars or Football, which are shown or hidden according to the current time.

Code the Beat is a unique and immersive experience where learning to code becomes an adventure through music. Guided by the animated character BeatBot, players dive into the world of programming while creating their own musical compositions using real Swift code. Learn Swift, One Beat at a Time Each level introduces a fundamental coding concept in an interactive and creative way. Whether you’re new to coding or want to experience it in a fresh format, Code the Beat makes learning engaging and intuitive. • Variables: Start your journey by playing notes on a virtual piano. As you play, you’ll see how variables can store musical values—bridging sound and code in real time. • Functions: Use a DJ pad to trigger chords and learn how functions group together instructions to create reusable code blocks—just like combining notes to form a chord. • Arrays: Drag and drop chords to create your own musical sequence, understanding how arrays store and manage collections of values. • Loops: Turn your chord sequence into a loop to discover how iteration works. Watch your music repeat endlessly while learning the basics of for and while loops. • Conditionals: Add drum sounds at specific beats and learn how conditions like if, &&, and || control logic in programming, affecting how and when code executes. A Retro, Accessible Visual Experience The game is styled in nostalgic pixel art, designed entirely using Aseprite. Each visual element, from the animated BeatBot to floating musical notes, is carefully crafted to make learning fun. Users can also enable OpenDyslexic font in the main menu, ensuring an inclusive experience for those with dyslexia or who prefer an alternative to the pixel font. Interactive Sound & Animation Code the Beat features responsive audio and animations throughout the app. Touch piano keys, trigger chords, and watch your code come alive through visual feedback and electric piano sounds—all recorded by the developer. For Learners of All Ages Whether you’re a curious student, a creative coder, or someone looking to combine music and logic in a new way, Code the Beat is designed for you. It’s not just a game—it’s a playful introduction to the world of software development through a universal language: music.
