Days Since 2000

What is the purpose of the
(days since 2000)
block. I don't really get why you need it.

Days Since 2000

Honestly, neither do I. It's a question I've been asking myself since 2.0. Why would anyone want to know the # of days since the year 2000? How would it come up in a game?

Days Since 2000

some uses:
1. calendar calculators, like days until christmas or pi day
2. alternative to the timer block
3. time zone calculator, because it uses universal time instead of what your computer uses
4. when you want to calculate the time since last visit to a project (works in conjunction with cloud variables)
5. psuedorandom number generator seed
