Constantly getting "Line is indented" error

You need to read the explanation I offered and the code to work out how it works

It doesn't know what time of day it is, just displays stuff according to your day, and your time of day variables!

So in the end I ended up doing this to get it set to Saturday Night.

Code: Select all

define day_of_week = ["Sun", "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat"]
define time_of_day = ["Morning", "Afternoon", "Evening", "Night"]
default day = 1
default tod = 2

default dow = day_of_week[day]
default time_now = time_of_day[tod]

#####

    def advance_time(_time = 1):
        global tod, time_now, time_of_day, day
        new_days = (tod + _time) // 4 # // returns floored divisions, in other ways how many times the divider goes into the value, ignoring remainders

        tod = (tod + _time) % 4
        time_now = time_of_day[tod]

        advance_day(new_days) # add new days


    def advance_day(_day = 1):
        global day, dow, day_of_week
        day += _day
        dow = day_of_week[day % 7]

Though I'm still unsure of how % is division and not subtraction.

Though I'm still unsure of how % is division and not subtraction.

the simplest way is to use the mod operator %: e.g. 12 % 7 = 5

What the mod operator does is, it returns the remainder of your first value after being divided by the second value. e.g. with 1 % 7, 7 goes into 1 exactly 0 times, with 1 as a remainder. 12 % 7: 7 goes into 12 exactly 1 time, with a remainder 5.

I'd strongly advice you actually read the explanations. I don't know if it's a language barrier thing, and therefore you're struggling to understand (you need to tell us if that's the case).

However so far you're showing lots of signs that you don't actually read and follow anything (making up your own code from working examples), and it'd mean your code will fail to work time after time and you'll be wasting everybody's time on the forum fixing very basic issues and errors that you wouldn't be making had you read the explanations and tried to learn.
