I hope @kkramsay23 Visits again otherwise it is up for Grabs . I don’t think I have seen a digital roman . I am tempted to do the seconds just for fun .

@kkramsay23 Did you get to Inspect the test . I left it open . Of course if you want to do it under your own Steam don’t look under the Hood.
Working on some ideas, if needed will inspect it.
Thanks

Respect . I will take it down. Many on here reckon I jump the gun . The Point it is possible and there are a couple of strategies . It always so satisfying to achieve the result you want with your own Learning . Pleas let us know how you get on .
Funny, a while ago I got the strange idea of playing with Roman numerals, and LCD. The 2 didn’t quite mix well. For starters, minutes and seconds in Roman numerals can be anywhere from 1 to 7 digits wide. Next, trying to do that on an LCD display means I can’t center the text of the 7 digits, since the variable width of the actual digits won’t sit well on a center-justified 7-digit field (ie, fixed-position LCD segments), so it would have to be left justified, which makes it look odd.
I gave up trying to figure out the math, the lack of variables makes it overly complicated, if not impossible. So… I used a spreadsheet to create long-arse conditionals for the digits, I created a left-justified LCD field, and I tried the whole thing anyhow-- just for the heck of trying it. As @russellcresser mentioned, there’s no zero numeral, so I substituted what Google Translate claims to be the Latin word for zero, NULLA. Works, but looks funky. And what better name to give it but CASIUS

I love it. NULLA.
You have done the only thing posdible there. Above each other.
You could have an inverse Font with flames behind it and call it Nero Zero.
Thanks for sharing that Code. I spent 2 hours typing it in creator. That is why I get fed up with the whole thing some times . I must get on that spreadsheet.
Good Tutorial.
BTW. The multi conditional works with text but not with numbers. Voodoo Rules.

Download the spreadsheet and mess around with it in MS-Excel (I don’t know about Google Sheets, I don’t use it and I don’t like it). Seconds (column D) and Minutes (column F) end up exceedingly wide, which is why I have their column widths narrowed, so start with the hours since it’s shorter and you can visualize the whole thing in column H.
All it takes is to formulate the conditional for the first digit (zero) in H3, then in H4 concatenate what’s above it (H3) with the conditional for the second digit (1). Keep going downwards and string along the conditionals. The very last cell (H26) has your completed and exact formula for hours.

Wonderful. Looks really cool, Fantastic job!
If the Romans at the time could have seen this, they would have concluded to rethink their numbering … 
What did they have to tell time? Sundials, right?
maybe, I’ll give that a go on a smartwatch…

Yeah . There are a few . If you had the compass involved and the seasons that could be great fun .

You actually might be able to use the Moon Distance for Seasons . You have got me thinking now . I am thinking I have actually don a bit of a sundial thing .
Is that and Etsy Product BTW.
Hey Brilliant . I did not see a compass on there . I can imagine the Gnomon getting caught up in your jumper even if it is retractable . That is why the Romans always had Bare Arms I guess. I loved that someone reckoned the Vikings Navigated to Newfoundland and reckoned the time of day with a nice Felspar Crystal .
Below is my attempt at a Roman ‘digital watch’ I treat this watchface as a learning face - thanks to @russellcresser @kourosh and @tom.vannes for help with conditionals and to the community for making things interesting enough to learn!
