Days Since 2000
What is the purpose of the
(days since 2000)block. I don't really get why you need it.
Have you ever heard of the Duck Highway series? ‘Cause no. You haven’t. So check their studio, then get ready for the next one, Duck Highway 5: The Cars Strike Back. This time, it's personal. For the fifth time.

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

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

when green flag clicked
say (join (join [It has been ] ((days since 2000)-((365.25)*(13)))) [ days sine *something* has been discovered.]) for (2) secs //since 2013
Hello! It's Chippy2Test!
Ever wondered when I learned about pen?
Or ever wanted to make a platformer?
Or have you auditioned for doctor cat yet?
Or have you even wanted to know what a horrible tune sounds like?
Or have you ever been stuck at a cliff?
Or have you ever wanted a handy text engine?
Or have you ever needed a X position, Y position, Direction, Layer, Costume and size randomizer?
You probably have never!
((Chippy2Test ::grey stack) + (((Chippy2 ::stack looks) + (I_8_U ::events stack)) + (Chippy2s_Pepteps ::sound stack))) = {One profile?::operators}::operators ring
when I receive [a signal from outer space v] ::black
send back [another signal v] ::events
delete this signal ::events cap
