New Blocks: Date and Time

What do you think of this?

They report your computer's system time. Right now I am working on a Day / Night simulation.  big_smile

I really want to be a beta tester and make a sample project for 1.5
Please add this Scratch team!  yikes

Re: New Blocks: Date and Time

yes! pulling the date and time is something scratch really needs to be able to do!it would allow accurate times for games, ans would allow calender style projects too!

Re: New Blocks: Date and Time

Excellent idea! I've always thought this was a great idea, and it has been suggested multiple times before. Thanks for bringing it back to the top of my mind!

Re: New Blocks: Date and Time

I've just realized something to think about, though. Different countries have different orders in their dates.
For example, the U.S.A. has Month/Day/Year. But New Zealand, for example, has Day/Month/Year.

Perhaps there should be a setting?

Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.

Re: New Blocks: Date and Time

Oh, whatever! Can't we get back on topic?

Yes, I'd love that new feature. It'd be so useful for things like a tablet or operating system.

Re: New Blocks: Date and Time

Yep, and it can actually be made, even with a dropdown of date, short date, time, seconds, minutes, hours, weekday!
