How aaac15/cronos works
CRONOS is a small terminal clock. The user launches it with flags; its command parser selects the display mode and optional font, then the main loop obtains local time, renders either a large font-based clock or plain text, and updates the terminal once per second. The README also documents user-made .cf fonts; the sampled source shows how the font loader reads them. The two font files are included as supported examples. The map focuses on runtime behavior, not build and installation machinery.
