About This Project
This Analog Clock is a beginner-to-intermediate JavaScript project that teaches
core DOM manipulation, SVG creation, and animation techniques.
The clock features smooth second-hand movement using milliseconds for sub-second
precision, a 3D mouse parallax tilt effect using lerp interpolation, dynamically
generated tick marks and hour numbers via SVG, and a full-screen space-themed
background with animated stars and nebula effects.
Features include a digital display bar showing current time, date, and day,
a date complication replacing the 3 o'clock numeral, and full accessibility
with aria labels and reduced-motion support.
