Think its a good idea? It could go somewhere at the bottom of the
screen...

What, you mean only at the start of the game? If that's it (that's the
only reasonable interpretation I can think of) then it's probably just a
pipe dream. TB will be busy making the next version of ADOM a bugfixer
(if he can tear himself away from JADE and Quinscape for a few minutes).

Presumably, the idea is to remind the player of the time throughout play. If
that is indeed what was in mind, I think the reasoning is obvious. ;-)

That wouldn't be syncing anything really, though, especially not syncing
the game clock with the computer clock.

Anyway, watches have been around for hundreds of years and, at least on
this side of the Atlantic, you can get one that works for a couple bucks
(and that's /Canadian/ bucks I'm thinking of). There you go.

Well, we don't have any watches, every time I want to know the time I have
to measure the angle of the sun. Then with help from various tables my
exact position on the globe and my calculator I am able to know what time
it is. Quite difficult at night, though it is possible by observing the
stars ;-)). You see it takes quite a while, so a worldwide adom time would
be just great!

But don't ever sync reality and adom.

check this out: my father bought *TWO* "made in china" digital
alarm clocks which can play 10 melodies *AND* serve as simple
calculators *AND* have an awesome "transformers" effect
(they unfold themselves on the push of a button!) *AND* display
world time *AND* have a lovely calendar for...drumroll, please...
the equivalent of US $5!
