🚨 Work in progress

This is a work in progress, with many issues still to be solved.

😅 Known problems

• When selecting WordClock as the screen saver in "Systems Preferences", it will say that "You cannot use the WordClock screen saver with this version of macOS...". This seems to be due to the fact that this is written in Swift and according to the internet this is a known problem. Fingers crossed it will sort itself out! Here's the radr: http://www.openradar.me/25569037
• The "Preferences"-window does not work (it's in the source but haven't gotten it to show up in System Preferences)

🤷‍♂️ Unknown problems

• I have no idea how the screen saver will act under any other circumstances (multi screen setup, screen sizes) than on my iMac - If you run in to any problems please report an Issue or submit a Pull Request to fix it 👍

✏️ Contribute

Feel free to contribute by adding issues or opening pull requests.

Apart from fixing the known and unknown problems - I could use your help to add new languages!

📣 Shout-outs

• John Coates - His screen saver project Aerial helped me a lot.
• Super Make Something - Looking at the Arduino Word Clock logic saved me a bunch of time spent on if-statements.
