Seaside

Seaside is an attempt at a minimalistic Garmin watch face. This is heavily inspired by the watch mockup by Commissioner Of design™ since I thought it looked so nice. I'm still in the search of a better font and a better implementation. The current fon't used is Nunito from Google. The font's has been converted to bitmap fonts according to the Resource Compiler documentation, however the recommended application (BMFont) is only available for Windows and I'm still looking for a good (free) alternative for macOS.

Build and run

To build an run this code you must have the Connect IQ SDK installed and add the bin directory from the SDK to your PATH.

# Create an output directory
$ mkdir -p out/production/seaside

# Launch the simulator
$ connectiq

# Compile the watch face
$ monkeyc \
    -d vivoactive3 \
    -f monkey.jungle \
    -o out/production/seaside/seaside.prg \
    -y path/to/dev_key.der

# Run it in the simulator
$ monkeydo out/production/seaside/seaside.prg vivoactive3

# Package it for release
$ monkeyc \
    -e \
    -f monkey.jungle \
    -o my_app.iq \
    -y path/to/dev_key.der

VS Code

Or just, as you probably should, install the VS Code Extension and build that way.

Or, even better, install the Prettier Extension Monkey C which contains the Monkey C Optimizer to build an optimized version.
