Hi,
It's been a while.
Would like to know if there is a way in Ren'Py to check the date yesterday even if the game was not opened yesterday? My goal, give the player a bonus whenever he/she plays everyday.
Looking forward for any help.

Code: Select all
label before_main_menu:
python:
from datetime import date
if not persistent.date_before:
persistent.date_before = date.today()
date_today = date.today()
day_difference = (date_today - persistent.date_before).days
persistent.date_before = date.today()
if day_difference < 1:
# no bonus, since the 24 mark didn't pass yet
elif day_difference == 1:
# bonus, since the game is played yesterday
else:
# no bonus, since the game is not played for more than a day
Haven't tried, but should work. *I think*

You may need to check the time against an internet source, rather than the player's local computer, since local time can be manipulated to take advantage of it.

Hi,
Tried this code but encountered some issues. Dealt with it by changing the day_difference to persistent.day_difference.
As for the internet time, the game is designed for offline use. And as much as possible, I want it to be simple.
For the usage of days of the week, I think there will be an issue. Example, I opened the game on Friday the I reopen it in on the Saturday next week.
Thank you very much for your assistance. Very very grateful.
