I made a little tool to build your own watch face visually

Hmmm - unfortunately the original post was deleted without a trace, along with the notes I made there.

Anyway, here goes:

• This is not associated with Garmin, just a little project for my own interest
  
• Takes a few minutes to build, but you can go to another tab in your browser while it does so. Will automatically save when finished
  
• Text sizes are only approximate for the dynamic data, as the watch itself draws those
  

How to use it:

• Upon loading a default watch face is there
  
• You can either just hit 'File -> Build watchface', or hit 'File-New' and start from scratch
  
• You can add new dynamic elements by clicking the watch icon on the bottom left, then on the cavas. You can choose the data (and size) from the presets on the top right
  
• Colours are selected from the palette on the bottom left, or from the icon above the watch icon.
  
• You can change the 'template' text manually on the right to be any combination of the presets. There's also printf-style formatting.

Cool idea! It seems to take a loooong time to build the watch face though...

Yes, it takes around 80 seconds on my MBP on Chrome, 140 second in Firefox. I'd imagine it can take up to a few minutes on slower computers.

I figured it was worth trying a client-only solution, rather than having to run/pay for a backend.

I'd like an option to save the source code instead of build the watch face.

Interesting idea - could be done quite easily.

I was more focussed on people that weren't devs, but were interested in designing their own watch face.

Is there a back end compiling the code? Or do you do it in Javascript somehow?

It's all just running in the browser using Javascript.

Where did you get the specs for the .prg file? And the MonkeyC VM?

Ah I see - using Javascript JVM called Doppio.

The source for the web app is here https://github.com/marcosscriven/marcosscriven.github.io

*WOW* mind blown! :)

A JVM written in Javascript used to compile Monkey C! No wonder it is slow!
