Building a progress clock with CSS

Progress clocks, often used in games and other interactive settings, are a visual tool to track progress toward a goal, represented as a circle divided into segments that fill in as progress is made. Unlike traditional progress bars, progress clocks are typically interactive and allow users to manually update their progress, making them suitable for tasks where progress cannot be automatically calculated or easily broken down into simpler tasks. This article explores the implementation of an eight-segment progress clock using HTML and CSS, emphasizing usability and inclusivity through features like a zero-value reset, focus indicators for keyboard accessibility, and adaptations for coarse and fine pointer inputs. The design process involves creating a layout with radio buttons, which are styled and positioned to form a circular clock, with considerations for accessibility and user interaction feedback. The article provides a detailed tutorial on building and customizing these progress clocks, discussing design flexibility to accommodate different user interfaces and input methods.
