ASCII Minecraft Matrix Clock

A Wallpaper Engine live wallpaper: a field of drifting Minecraft enchantment-table glyphs with an interactive mouse trail, plus a centered live clock and date.

Features

• Animated grid of background characters (customizable character set)
• Mouse trail and click-drag rectangle highlighting
• Centered live clock (12/24-hour, optional seconds) and date, independent font size from the background
• Selectable clock font (built-in pixel font, clean monospace, or any custom font installed on your PC)
• Selectable clock language, since Wallpaper Engine's embedded browser doesn't always report your Windows region correctly
• Full color customization: background, background characters, trail, and clock
• Grid layout controls: padding, spacing, and space fillout

Credits

This wallpaper builds on the work of two other Steam Workshop creators:

• ASCII Minecraft enchantment trail by Springtrap's Boy Toy — original concept and base script.
• Enhanced ASCII Minecraft matrix by nimnim — mouse trail, dragging rectangle, and the advanced grid/spacing options (base programming credited to Karamell).

This version adds the centered live clock/date, color customization, and font/locale controls on top of that base.

Editing Locally

Open index.html directly in a browser to preview the animation (the Wallpaper Engine-only property panel won't be available outside the app, so settings fall back to the defaults hardcoded in source/script.js).
