Since the .gm6 file is so much smaller than any executable, no executable is available. This forum is for users of Game Maker anyway, so this shouldn't be a major issue. This is an open source project anyway, so feel free to improve it in any way. Current features: 1. Alarm and time display 2. Two ways to set the alarm time. Set the alarm by typing numeric values for each part of the time, or simply click the arrows to adjust parts up and down. 3. Flashing alarm message you can set yourself. 4. Supports loading any WAV or MIDI file to use as the alarm sound 5. Good system for saving alarm settings, including remembering the external location of any sound you load, and re-loading it with the settings. Saved settings you can name yourself, and have their own unique extension. i.e. settings.bjac. Some Idiot: This is stupid. Who wants an alarm clock? Go buy a real one! Me: This is FREE, Duh!

I would put the current time in the center, make the buttons a bit smaller (possibly menus?), and make it a window. This would also be a good thing to put togethter with a larger program.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out a way to calculate and show how much time remains until the alarm goes off. Like, the alarm is set for 06:00:00, the current time is 16:30:07, so the time remaining should be 13:29:52, and count backwards until the exact moment that the time and alarm are equal, in which case the time remaining should be 24:00:00, indicating that 24 hours, 00 minutes and 00 seconds remain until the next sounding of the alarm. So far, it's easier said than done. Also, numbers less than 10 need to be displayed with a 0 before them just like the time and alarm. I'm having trouble with this.

Make a topic in the Q+A if you need more help.

Yes, it is simple for minutes and seconds, but hours? It's going to take a little more than subtraction... If the current_hour is 12 and the alarm is 11, to say that only 1 hour remains would be incorrect, because 23 hours remain until 11 the next day, when the alarm will actually go off. See? It will probably involve more programming that you thought. As for displaying a 0 before numbers less than 10, that's NOT the difficult part. That's easy and is done in time using the following: Code: `if current_hour>9 draw_text(x,y,current_hour) else draw_text(x,y,"0"+string(current_hour))` There is no need to set a variable called zero to 0.

Here's the current layout, as in the downloadable file: Anybody can edit the image, move stuff around, and show me what a better layout should be. Any help is appreciated, thanks! Soon, I might upload it again.
