AltAlarmClock

For the 23rd day of MinaCoding2024 : "Coding in Bed", AltAlarmClock with the aid of SonicPi attempts to be an annoying alarm clock while being coded in bed.

Poem

Time to Awake
for the Head to Elevate

What shall we visualize
For this morning?
For this time?
What is it that you were thinking,
Once the sun rises
And you open the lid on your eyes
And they began to start blinking?
