Pac-Man Themed Analog Clock

This project involved the application of a variety of skills, including graphic design, some time-keeping, a dash of creativity, and good old elbow grease!  By using graphic design software (Paint.Net), it was possible to digitally lay out characters from the original Pac-Man arcade game, developed by Namco (who also happens to own the rights/etc. to the characters and game itself), on a 12-hour analog clock arrangement.    The graphics were then printed out and glued to an off the shelf analog clock found at any retail store.  Paint was used to highlight the second, minute, and hour hands.  As the seconds tick by, Pac-Man proceeds to chomp on fruits and Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and, of course, Clyde.  As a die-hard Pac-Man fan since childhood, this was one of my most gratifying projects to complete.  Cheers and thanks for your time!
