ALARM CLOCK
Alarm Clock for the 64
Written by: Greg Kudasz
PowerPlay Magazine, March 1985
Page 88
Have you ever wished you could use
your Commodore 64 as an alarm clock?
With the built-in clock and fantastic
graphic and sound capabilities, the
C-64 seems to be the perfect
candidate for an alarm clock.
ALARM CLOCK keeps track of the
current time, A.M. or P.M., as well
as a time to sound the alarm.
The seconds may be displayed in the
middle of the screen in large numbers
by pressing the '1' key. After three
seconds, the screen will return to
showing the time in large numbers.
To set A.M. or P.M., press the '2'
key. The computer then asks for AM
or PM. Answer 'A' for AM and 'P' for
PM.
To display AM or PM, press the '3'
key. The screen will show AM or PM
for two seconds. The screen will
then return to showing the time.
Pressing the '4' key will sound the
alarm. If the volume is too high,
turn down the volume. If you don't
think it is loud enough to wake you up
in the morning, turn the volume up.
To turn off the alarm, just press any
key. The computer will return to
showing the time.
To set the alarm, press the '5' key.
The computer will then ask for a time.
You are to enter it as 0100-1259.
Don't use colons or seconds. As an
example, 1259 = 12:59. After you set
the alarm time, the computer will ask
for AM or PM. To set the alarm to the
correct setting, input either 'AM' or
'PM' to this prompt. Remember to
press RETURN after you have input the
AM or PM information.
By pressing '6', you can see what
time the computer is set to go off at.
After eight seconds, the screen will
return to showing the time.
To change screen color press the
'7' or '8' key.
To exit this program and return to
the PowerPlay program menu, press the
'q' key.
