A small app that displays the current time of day (in 24-hour format), the current Imperial date from Warhammer 40,000 and an inspirational quote from your local Departmento Munitorum's Commissariat office. It was written for the PICO-8 fantasy console, but can also be used standalone.
Thought for the Day is brought to you by FAB INDUSTRIES.
This app is available as a cartridge for the PICO-8 fantasy console and as standalone binaries for Windows, 64-bit Linux, Mac OS X and the Raspberry Pi.
There is also a web version that should work on most desktop and mobile browsers.
The source code is licensed under the MIT License and can be viewed on GitHub. Improvements are welcome! Please contact me if you have suggestions.
