Blocks & Decoration Make placed clock's faces show time

Just a small thing, I think the faces of the Grandfather Clock and all its other versions actually tell the time.
Simple, in theory, but probably pretty hard to code.

I don't believe it'd be that hard. Depends on how sprites work. It could potentially be very easy.

It would be as easy as just adding 12 extra frames to the clock sprite, plus any intermediate frames for the minute hands.

11 frames, but that's besides the point. I was talking about the back end, or code, side of things. Not so much the spriting. I meant more the way sprites are called up and displayed on the screen.

It probably wouldn't be too hard to code, the clock already shows the time when clicked on.

But I only wonder if such a thing is needed, ~12 extra sprites of every possible grandfather clock for such a tiny detail doesn't really seem big priority for me. for the work it adds.

I think this'll be a nice aesthetic addition! Then you won't actually have to click on the clock to get the time. (You'll still click it if you want the time with greater precision.)
