This fun game just made me realize that actually using analog watch does not require converting the time to HH:MM.
I've been using analog watch for years, my Apple Watch face is set to analog and, apparently, I read the time as "it's almost 11", but never as "it's 10:58".

This could be good for kids to learn how to read analog clocks. I remember this being something we did in school as kids... racing to read a clock faster than the other kid, to move on to the next section of an obstacle course. From what I understand that is becoming a lost skill.

It seems to not support 24h? When I see e.g. 17:35 I want to type 17:35 instead of 5:35. Probably because I very seldomly see 5:35 in real life! Interesting observation by itself, but slightly annoying that I have to convert to 12h for this game.

Ha! Got a good laugh.
Two suggestions:
- Let me enter the time with my keyboard
- Make your input numpad match a PC keyboard's numpad, not a phone's

For some reason this brings back memories of looking for clocks or strangers with a watch while walking around a department store or mall
I mustve forgotten how common 'public' clocks used to be. Now... not even the clock on my local town hall is correct
