| Purpose: to provide a simple alarm function for the user on the Windows operation system, but does have a nice rooster's crow to sound the alarm and the rooster shows up to let the user know the alarm has sounded in case the crowing has not been heard. | ||
| To install: Unzip Q_Alarm.zip in any folder, then deal with the executable file in the normal way. Keep the files together. | ||
| To Use: (1) Clear the alarm with the Alarm Clear button at any time to stop the alarm or to prepare to set the alarm (2) To set a simple timer for a range from 1 to 59 minutes -- Click the checkbox marked "Use Minutes From Now" -- Click in the Minutes bar to indicate how many minutes until the alarm sounds -- Click Alarm Set (3) To set an actual time for the alarm (up to 23 hours, 59 minutes from NOW): -- Click the Hours circle for the hour, then click the Minutes bar for the minute -- Click Alarm Set (note: if you click an earlier time than NOW, the setting is pushed forward in time, i.e. if the time is 21:00 and you set it at 20:00, then the alarm is for 20:00 the next day) -- ( 24-Hour time: 00:00 = midnight, 06:00 = 6 AM, 12:00 = noon, 15:00 = 3 PM, 18:00 = 6 PM, 21:00 = 9 PM ) The little button with a question mark brings up this help html file. |

| Programming note: perhaps of interest is the means of allowing an image to yield information by clicking with the mouse. This is done by recording locations within the image in a Euphoria sequence and referring to that in translating the click location to meaningful numbers (hours or minutes). | ||
