Binary Clock

[sparkz_alot]

So I started what I thought would be a pretty simple project, but through perseverance was able to turn it into something complicated.  It's rather long, 227 lines, and works with Python 3.4 and 3.6, on Windows 10 and OpenSuse 42.2 Linux.  You will need the third party libraries "colorama" and "cursor", both of which can be installed with "pip".  Right now, the display is in "cheater" mode, in that it shows the numbers, but if you're nerdy enough, you can change it to display any single character you want (within reason) (no, I did not try the unicode 'Pile of Poo').  I could only think of using a counter (default is 1 minute) and using "Control + C" to exit before the timer runs out.  I tried to make it as a gui, but, well I have no talent what so ever in that regard and it rapidly turned into a major cluster f--k, so a plain terminal is what you get 

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Enjoy
