About NightClock

Michele wanted something to leave running on the 3DS while working at the desk or watching TV. Every launch gets a new sky: blinking stars, a sleeping moon, seven layers of clouds, and planes and shooting stars at random. Something special happens on screen when the hour changes, and the Records menu counts every shooting star, plane and cloud.

- Select: time and date, time only, or nothing
- D-Pad left and right: three sizes for the clock and date
- Start: save and quit

In Settings you pick the clock colour, sky theme, clock format and date format, ISO included. Version 1.03 added an alarm. The bottom screen can be turned off to save battery, and the Rainbow Dream colour mode is meant to help stop a still image ghosting on the screen.

The time comes from the 3DS clock. To set it from the internet, open Rosalina (L, D-Pad down and Select), go to Miscellaneous options and choose Update date and time via NTP. Settings are only saved when you quit with Start.
