⚙️ Cell Clock — open the back, see every gear

A ScummVM-style clockwork mechanism rendered live, with the same system decomposed into a spreadsheet on the right. Cursor position, clicks, ticks — all cells. All addressable. All replayable.

The 19th century solved the problem of portable, affordable time with the spring-driven pocket watch. Every piece was a pinnacle of mechanical engineering.

The Cells LIVE

The Ledger 0

Click a gear. Move the cursor. Each event is a cell, every event is recorded.
How this works: Each gear is a value cell with x, y, radius, teeth, ratio. The cursor position is two sensor cells (cursor.x, cursor.y). Clicks write to a listener cell that appends to the ledger. The ticks formula counts how many rotations have happened. The 5 eras show how different cultures solved the same problem (counting time) with different mechanisms — a 17th century verge escapement looks nothing like a 20th century quartz oscillator, but both are cells in the same sheet. The metaphor: cells are gears. Connections are shafts. Formulas are escapements. Listeners are bells. Try clicking different gears. The downstream cells react. This is the spreadsheet-as-runtime made visible.
