Strftime and conditionals for a calendar [Solved]

[Clareity]

I got the calendar code from the renpy cookbook and played around with it a bit:

Code: Select all

init python:

    import datetime

    class GameTime:

        def __init__(self, dt="01 Jan 2018"):
            self._dt = datetime.datetime.strptime( dt, "%d %b %Y" )

        def alter(self, **kwargs):
            self._dt += datetime.timedelta( **kwargs )

        def __repr__(self):
            return _strftime("%A, %d %b %Y %H:%M", self._dt.timetuple())

        @property
        def tod(self): #tod = time of day
            return [ k[-1] for k in (
                (0,1,2,3,4,5,6, "Night Time"),
                (7,8,9,10,11, "Morning"),
                (12, "Noon"),
                (13,14,15,16,17, "Afternoon"),
                (18,19,20, "Evening"),
                (21,22,23, "Late Evening") ) if self._dt.hour in k ][0]

So I added a section into my game to check if it's "night time"

Code: Select all

if gt.tod == "Night Time":
        "watch out for ghosts!"

I want the game to also print a line if it's the weekend. How do I define a property to check if it's the weekend or not?

I tried this:

Code: Select all

@property
        def daytype(self):
            return _strftime("%A", self._dt.timetuple())

Followed up by

Code: Select all

if gt.daytype == "Saturday" or "Sunday":
        "It's the weekend!"

But it just ends up printing "It's the weekend!" regardless of the day. Any help?

You can use elif.

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/conditio ... -statement

Like..

Code: Select all

if gt.daytype == "Saturday":
        "It's the weekend!"
        
        elif gt.daytype == "Sunday":
        "Its the weekend!"
        
        elif gt.tod == "Night Time":
        "watch out for ghosts!" 

Try if it works, since i am not best or good at coding.. so..

I dont think if it is a games date or the real time function?If real time, then i had a example.

[Clareity]

Code: Select all

init python:

    import datetime

    class GameTime:

        def __init__(self, dt="01 Jan 2018"):
            self._dt = datetime.datetime.strptime( dt, "%d %b %Y" )

        def alter(self, **kwargs):
            self._dt += datetime.timedelta( **kwargs )

        def __repr__(self):
            return _strftime("%A, %d %b %Y %H:%M", self._dt.timetuple())

        @property
        def tod(self): #tod = time of day
            return [ k[-1] for k in (
                (0,1,2,3,4,5,6, "Night Time"),
                (7,8,9,10,11, "Morning"),
                (12, "Noon"),
                (13,14,15,16,17, "Afternoon"),
                (18,19,20, "Evening"),
                (21,22,23, "Late Evening") ) if self._dt.hour in k ][0]

        @property
        def daytype(self):
            return _strftime("%A", self._dt.timetuple())

default gt = GameTime("3 Jun 2019")   

label start:

    show screen calendar

    "Next up is the menu where we can mess around with the date and time!"

label timechange:

    if gt.tod == "Night Time":
        "watch out for ghosts!"

    if gt.daytype == "Saturday" or "Sunday":
        "It's the weekend!"

    "It is [gt] ( [gt.tod] )"

These are the relevant sections of my code, and basically the problem is the

Code: Select all

   @property
        def daytype(self):
            return _strftime("%A", self._dt.timetuple())

I'm not sure why when i set gt.daytype == "Saturday" or "Sunday":

It doesn't seem to care what the "%A" print is, it just automatically sees that Saturday or Sunday is part of the list and prints the text?

[Remix]

Likely best to use "%w" for testing the weekday (0 is Sunday, 1 is Monday etc, 6 is Saturday) as it is locale independent.

Code: Select all

        @property
        def daytype(self):
            return "Weekday" if 0 < _strftime("%w", self._dt.timetuple()) < 6 else "Weekend"

Should work
