This project is an implementation of an interactive analog clock using the QML language within the Qt framework. The application provides a simple and elegant UI to display time and allows the user to manually set the time by dragging the clock's hands.
- Live Clock: Continuously updates the second, minute, and hour hands to display the current time.
- Draggable Handles: Users can adjust the time by clicking and dragging the minute and hour hands.
- Reset Functionality: A reset button to set the clock back to the current time.
- No Images: Fully drawn using QML elements like Rectangle, Canvas, and Text without the use of any Image elements.
- No QtQuick.Controls: Implemented with basic QML elements, avoiding the use of QtQuick.Controls for educational purposes and greater control over behavior.
