Calendar help?

[Cherubunny]

Hello, hello! Sorry for the trouble, but I've been working on figuring out a calendar for my game. So far, it looks like this:

(As a test, the current date in the game is set to February 5)
What I'm trying to figure out is how to click the arrows to display the next month depending on the current month, how to get it to show its proper, corresponding date image (e.g. January showing its 31 days image instead of showing the 28 days image), and how to go backwards and show the correct screen (e.g. If our date is February 5, and we click forward to look at March, but then go back to February, it goes to the screen February and gets rid of the highlighted 05 day, so is there a way to go back to that screen and keep the current highlighted day shown?)
Sorry this is such a messy ask, I'm very amateur

Hello, btw you have a nice calendar XD Do you already have any screen language code and if so can you post it here?

Here is a general gist of how you want your calendar to work:

Q: What I'm trying to figure out is how to click the arrows to display the next month depending on the current month, how to get it to show its proper, corresponding date image

- (PART A) Let's first solve your problem with the buttons. The way to go about this is to either use an image button or imagemaps. What would probably work best for you would be to use imagemaps instead of imagebuttons. Since your calendar highlights the current day red, it would be faster and more effecient to use imagemaps else if the dates didn't change then image buttons would go.

- (PART B) The next thing tackled would be how to display the proper month. The way to to this would be to use screens! Once you made the button you can assign the button an action, in your case that action would display the screen.
There are multiple ways to do this:
1. You can have 12 screens, each representing each month. The would mean you would have 12 images of calendars for each month.
2. You can have a single master screen, and deoending on certain conditions that screen will be altered depending on the month.
The first is a lot easier to code but time consuming; the second would require a more complex kind of code but in the sense it's more efficient.

Q: How to go backwards and show the correct screen
- This really depends on how your game's programed date or time system functions. But generally, all you have to do is store the current date into a default variable like default date = 5; Afterwards, you would add a conditional in your screen to check the current date and then it would modify your master screen to strike red the current date.

Ok, now here is the thing everything I just stated are in the general sense and more or less how I'd approach it. The problem why I cant give you more detailed code atm is I'm uncertain if you have created any of your screens or such. I'll come back to you once you post some code if any or none and I'll see if I can create a placeholder code framework where all you have to do if just plug it the necessary things. However, first post any screen code if you have any

Oh gosh, thank you so much for the reply!! I actually am using imagemaps for this, and each date is a hotspot. Here's what I have currently (I also added comments for things that are just minor and image related):

Code: Select all

        if calendar.day < 10:
            day_img = "".join([calendar.month , " cal 0", str(calendar.day), ".png"])
        else:
            day_img = "".join([calendar.month , " cal ", str(calendar.day), ".png"])
        month_img = "".join(["cal ", calendar.month, ".png"])

Thank you again for the willingness to help <3 I'm very new to coding, but I think I am learning fast, and it is very fun! I just don't know the ins and outs yet haha. If you need anything else, feel free to let me know!

I wouldn't use an imagemap; simpler to use buttons. (Specifically, you don't have to do 365 hotspots...) I was bored at work and wanted to waste some time, so I made the following standalone calendar. (Does not allow for years, but it's rare that that's really relevant in a VN.) Obviously you have your own system going on for keeping track of the dates; feel free to modify as needed. The following is just meant to illustrate the basic concept. You can change it to imagebuttons or just have the background as an image and use textbuttons (active buttons with a white background, nonactive with purple, highlighted 'today' with red text, etc.) with much less fuss than doing it in image editing software by hand.

Code: Select all

default month_dict = {
    1:("January", 31),
    2:("February", 28),
    3:("March", 31),
    4:("April", 30),
    5:("May", 31),
    6:("June", 30),

}

screen calendar(month, starting_day): 
    # month is the month shown
    # starting_day is the first weekday of the month expressed as an integer (0 for Sunday, 6 for Saturday)

    default name = month_dict[month][0]
    default days = month_dict[month][1]
    default prev_month = month-1 if month > 1 else 12
    default next_month = month+1 if month < 12 else 1

    vbox:
        hbox:
            textbutton "<" action Show("calendar", month=prev_month, starting_day=(starting_day + 7 - (month_dict[prev_month][1] % 7)) % 7) # involves back of the napkin math, feel free to replace if you figure out a simpler method

            textbutton ">" action Show("calendar", month=next_month, starting_day=(starting_day+days) % 7)

                        style "today"
            for i in range(42 - (starting_day+days)):

    $ curr_day = 3 # sets today to February 3 to show changed highlight

Oh gosh, thank you a bunch; this looks so much cleaner already lol I will test this out when I can, but for now, I have one more question; do you know how I can hover over a certain date and display text about what holiday it is (In my image example, there's room at the bottom... So for example, I wanna know how I can get "Valentine's day" to show up in that spot when I hover over February 14)

[Cherubunny]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! The calendar is functioning better than I could ever have hoped for! (24 is hovered by the way) (also ignore the fact I forgot to place in my SMTWTFS image lmao)
Now, I only have two small questions that I'm not sure how to go about...
1. Is it possible to hover over a date and display centered text on the bottom about what holiday it is? Also, is it possible to make holiday date squares be a different colour? (Ex. The Feb 14th, January 1st, etc. squares being yellow to signify they're a holiday)
2. Is it also possible to add a border to the textbuttons like in my first image? I think it had a cute aesthetic but if not I understand!
Thank you both so much again for your help! Here is what the code currently looks like for reference:

1. Set hovered/unhovered actions to Show/Hide a screen with the relevant data as needed. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#textbutton

For holidays, it's basically the same concept as highlighting today. Something like, make a list of holidays (e..g, holidays = [(1, 1), (2, 14)]) and use that to apply a different style.

Code: Select all

if (month, i) in holidays:
    style "holiday"

2. You could have the larger border color squares on the background and make the textbuttons smaller. Or you could make an image (border+square) and replace your backgrounds with the images.

But I'm... not really sure how to fix it? My other code is still the same as above, I'm not quite sure what to fix?

[Cherubunny]

bonus update:


Works perfectly, I even added an extra style called holitoday that makes the outline dark to show that it's today and also a holiday! Gonna do the hover/unhovered show/hide thing next! (I actually figured that's how I would do it, but I wasn't too sure with how to define the holidays and such! Things make sense now!)

[Cherubunny]

I'm still really unsure why the code won't work when I try to access it from its calendar icon... Here's the error message:

At a quick glance, you can't have two different things with the same name. You have a screen called calendar and you have a label called calendar. Try renaming one of them something else.

Making it just screen helped as well as defining month and starting_day with a variable, but my problem with that solution is that I want the calendar to change what month/day are shown when clicked depending on what the ingame day is and I don't know how to do that? For example, I can set it to:
month=1, starting_day=1
But what about when the month is February? Is there a way I can have it display the month depending on what month it is?

EDIT: NVM I GOT THAT FIXED!! I had to set it to:
month=curr_month, starting_day=curr_day
I'm so silly lmao

[philat]

starting_day is the first day of the month (i.e., it decides how many empty boxes on the top row before the first day of the month). If the current day is larger than 6, the whole thing will throw an error. I don't know how you want to go about this, but for example, you could use the dictionary to set the starting_day for a given month.

[Cherubunny]

I'm not sure how I'd go about using a dictionary for that? Cause I assume it'd be similar to the month_dict but I'm not sure how I'd be able to do that and maybe even take in to account leapyears?
