Use the existing

(current [ v])

to calculate the season.

That's what I thought you said…

Well, it says what country you live in, right? Can't it find out from that?

I know you can, this is just to shorten that script. Oh, and for numbers:

1:Spring
2:Summer
3:Autumn (or fall, whatever)
4:Winter

A good project could be made for this, even better when custom operators become available.

little_kitten

I made a script to do it! Finally!

Use HTML5's geoLocation API

Or the user's entered location.

If they both fail, assume northern hemisphere because it's over twice as likely.

Yea, but would you rather have one block or like, 30, to calculate seasons? I do have a script to do it.

Which hemisphere? (Our winter is their summer!)

Also, there's also a hunting season and a hockey season and a monsoon season and a Christmas season and a hurricane season… *sigh*.

I think he means the astronomical seasons. But anyways yeah why not this instead?:

(current [season in south v])

And also what about the “equator” seasons, Dry and Wet. These ARE real seasons.

Yep. Also see post #2 on here for more.

I agree!

We people in the Philippines (equator country, mind you) have no winter and spring.

We joke we only have Dry, Rain, and More Rain.

So there.

I don't think it's worth the effort. Also, someone could use the current month and season to figure what region of the world a user lives in. That's bad.

Share?

Okay! Here it is: Go inside and the sprite titled “Season” has the script.

You can figure out where a user lives via their profile page.

If they haven't entered their location there, I doubt they're going to let JavaScript use it either.

if <<(current [month v]) = [1]> or <(current [month v]) = [2]>> then
say [It's summer! (I live in the southern hemisphere ok)]
end
if <<<(current [month v]) = [3]> or <(current [month v]) = [4]>> or <(current [month v]) = [5]>> then
say [It's autumn!]
end

You get the idea. Too lazy to put in the rest. (Is that how you're supposed to use the “current” block, with numbers? Not sure.)
