Is there a date function?

Hi,

Is there something like today() in Scratch?
One of my programs need to use today's date in its calculations, but I am not sure how I can go about getting it, other than manually changing it.

The program calculates a person's age in days, months and years. I subtract the persons date of birth (yyyy - mm - dd) from today's date.

Thanks.

You can put in an ask block asking the player what today is, then setting the variable to their answer.

You can also modify the code (If it isn't too advanced) and put in the code.

I think there is enough info to do that here.
