Today I had to work late, so the watch is not really finished. It borrows the game of life code from a while ago and tries to work the time display into the game grid. Perhaps with a better font this would have worked better; maybe make the 7 into a glider and have some other interesting shapes in the characters.

I tried to figure out how to read the font in the resources file as well. It's clear there is a table of 16-bit offsets for the characters from 0x20 (space) to 0x80, with an offset of 0 meaning not present, but I wasn't sure how to read the actual characters.
