'Hourglass' is a unique software based on a classic game that challenges you to measure time in a non-traditional way. Instead of simply reading a clock or a standard stopwatch, users are tasked with specifically measuring 15 and 24 minutes using two hourglasses; one lasting 7 minutes and the other 11 minutes. The challenge lies in manipulating these hourglasses to achieve the set time goals.

This intuitive game software has a user-friendly interface. The hourglasses are prominently displayed on the screen and can be turned over by clicking on them. At the top and bottom of each hourglass, the corresponding minutes, i.e., the time it takes for the sand to fully run out, are clearly marked.

Features:
  • Visual representation of hourglasses: The length of each hourglass is clearly indicated, allowing users to strategize how best to measure the required times.
  • Interactive interface: Users can flip the hourglasses by clicking on them, making the game more engaging.
  • Progress marker: The measured minutes are displayed both on the left side of the screen and beneath the hourglasses, making it easy for users to track their progress.
  • Unique time measuring challenge: The software presents a one-of-a-kind challenge of time measuring using hourglasses rather than conventional methods.

When you are ready to start the game, you can click on the 'Start' button located on the left side of the screen. The sand in the hourglasses will then start to descend. Once the sand in one of the hourglasses has completely run out, the other hourglass stops. You can then flip the hourglasses again and continue the process until you have measured the required time.

'Hourglass' provides a unique and intellectually stimulating challenge, enhancing your time management and strategic planning skills.

This innovative approach to time measurement makes 'Hourglass' a game that is both fun and intellectually stimulating. It provides an excellent way to test your ability to plan and act under pressure while also providing enjoyable entertainment.
