You're modeling a clock that works by stacking balls on a level 
representing one time unit until that unit overflows, incrementing the 
next higher time unit. A series of LIFO stacks might be a good choice. 
The delay timer suggested by Eryndlia would drive your model at whatever 
rate you choose: shorter delay -> faster simulation.

Initially, your choice "to depict the changes" should be simple, perhaps 
using Ada.Text_IO.
