WordyClock

The best word clock project on the internet

Inspired by this project from 2014: https://imgur.com/account/favorites/iMXmj

I wanted to make my own version with the following features:

1. Easier to put together
2. Allows the time to be easily set
3. Has a color picker
4. Has a brightness dimmer
5. Has enough space for "Happy Birthday" & "Happy Anniversary"
6. Has fun animations
