Scratch

I think it would be handy if Scratch could know what day and time it was. It would help because you wouldn't have to input one, or program it randomly.

Paddle2See · 2009-08-19 04:25:28

Yeah, I would like that as well. You could have projects that could remind you of a schedule...or show different looks for day and night. Lot's of possibilities!

BWOG · 2009-08-19 10:01:36

Also you could make a computer and the clock would be right instead of the user having to put in the time or something like that.

filo5 · 2009-08-19 12:26:15

Well, it can be done with remote sensors and simple python file.

fg123 · 2009-08-19 12:49:34

Yeah...and the project could detect the users' system time.

How?

markyparky56 · 2009-08-21 09:34:03

yeah...but you need to learn python...

dav09 · 2009-08-21 09:45:50

in net scratch you could do this !

markyparky56 · 2009-08-21 11:49:48

NetScratch has been cancled...

Jonathanpb · 2009-08-22 02:51:49

I would really like to see this!

You know how there's the time variable thingy? They should make one of those things for the time sensor. You could make things like [set variable to <time>] or If < [variable] = [time].

This idea is great!

You don't need to use any online features for this to work. The program would just use the local system time.

How would you get the right time for use in Scratch right now?

markyparky56 · 2009-08-22 11:29:23

that wouldn't work, you would have to set it at the begining of the program.

Ok, there are many people that do this. You computer keeps track of the time. Many programs will look for the time on the local system and use that in the program. Scratch could do the same.

You have a beta version of it.

It was going to be like Scratch but you could also do it with other people online or something, but they canceled it

I now realize how silly I am. It shouldn't be too hard for Scratch to sense the time, that's true...

markyparky56 · 2009-08-25 15:19:19

wouldn't you need python or something like that for scratch to sense it, for i have no idea how scratch could do it. Anyone know how?

I found out how to make the time blocks-- since i want paddle2see to see this, i will post it here, although i am making a tutorial.
in scratchsource, go to:
scratch-objects, scratchstagemorph: instances: sensing ops:
then add one of the following:
^ Time now (seconds, minutes, hours,)
^ Date today (month, dayOfMonth, day, monthName, year)
and put it in a block, and it will be able to use! please consider this, scratch team!
