Now I could be mistaken...but I think that the month / day / year 0 thing only applies in that tutorial due to the epoch of 0. Edit: Nope, I'm totally off-the-mark. Tests show that we're zero-indexing essentially, haha. |

The realtime_to_gametime(secs=0, mins=0, hrs=0, days=0, weeks=0,
months=0, yrs=0, format=False):
...These days however, the default gametime module is actually using Python's So I think it makes sense to change the custom time module to be consistent with the default behavior and start counting month and day from 1 rather than 0 (raising an error if giving 0). |
Brief summary of issue / Description of requested feature:
https://github.com/evennia/evennia/wiki/Gametime-Tutorial#a-game-time-with-a-custom-calendar
"In our case the game time starts at year 0, month 0, day 0, and at midnight."
This raises one big question to me: Is there a 'Month 0' and 'Day 0' that will come up every year/month? If so, why?
If not, I think the tutorial would be better if the game starts on 'month 1, day 1' (Even though the real world calendar has no 'year 0', that also looks out of place.) Even if the reason for this is normal code logic, the players will probably not have exposure to this logic.
Thanks.
