[Solved] Show screen/text according to the current day?

[Nanahs]

This is something I have given up on doing, but it's really something I wanted to learn how to do.

If I had a screen like this:

Code: Select all

screen christmasmessage:
    text "{color=#00ffff}Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!{/color}" size 35 xalign 0.5 ypos 200

And I wanted it to show up if it were December 25.

In a label like this:

Code: Select all

label park:
    j "Hi Anna! How are you?"
    a "Hello Jhon! I'm fine, and you?"

If it were December 25, the "screen christmasmessage" would show up.

I'm not asking anyone to make it all for me, I just need some explanation if possible.

I've been reading many questions/codes and I got confused.
Which is the right code to import current time/day in this case?
Do I use "IF"?

I'd appreciate if someone could give me an idea on how I should try to do it

Thank you, and Happy Holidays everyone!

Yes, you use 'if' for it. Somthing like:

Code: Select all

    if christmas:
        show screen christmasmessage

where 'christmas' is our boolean variable. We need to set it True when christmas date is met. It depends whether this date is fictional or real. If fictional, you must have additional date variables, lets say 'month' and 'day'
for this case code will be like this:

Code: Select all

$ christmas = month==12 and day==25 

and if we are looking for IRL date, i suppose we can use datetime

Code: Select all

init python:
    import datetime
    christmas = datetime.datetime.now().month==12 and datetime.datetime.now().day==25

Thank you so much! I've been looking for a way to do that.
It really worked!! Thanks!!!
