πŸ–₯ Rolling Clock

Do I ever enjoy investigating/prototyping something that answers the thought (usually from way out in left field): "how would I do this/that in BASIC ?

The question: how would I program a rolling clock?  (A "smooth rolling" clock.)

Well, since I couldn't commit to the full guacamole, I decided to not do the "smooth" bit right away.  Instead, I decided to get the bits I think I'll need for "smooth", while just aiming for a working "choppy" prototype.

πŸ–₯Deep Field

 This program is a port and mod of a QBJS program by (correction! bplus) dbox shared with the QB64pe community via this post.  bplus' program is z port and mod of a SPECBAS program by ZXDunny.

The program's screen will, upon program startup, adjust its size/dimensions to fit the size and dimensions of the browser window.  At any time, resize your browser window and hit the browser's refresh button to cause the program to restart with new dimensions.

Once graphic-generation is done, the program pauses for about ten seconds before clearing the screen and generating a new diagram.  You will know the program is pausing before clearing the screen when you hear some slow ticking sounds.
