Continuing the discussion from Scratch 3 block help (Part 1) - #132 by sathvikrias.
Previous discussions:
how do you make days since 2000
Find out the timestamp (in milliseconds) of midnight 1st Jan 2000 using Google
Subtract that from current time in milliseconds - see sensing category, current reporter options
Divide result by how many milliseconds there are in a day
I came up with my approach while away from computer
I'd forgotten that Snap! can supply the current year 
But I like @nieznajomyh approach - even more over complicated than my original
We should turn this into a competition......
I must take into account leap years and also differences with quantity days in month which makes problem more hard.
Just use 1/4 (0.25) to represent leap day.
if you want to compute days since 2000, use this:
current time in milliseconds is # of milliseconds since 1970
i went here to get # of milliseconds since 1970 for 1999/12/31 (Date to Millisecond Calculators – Code Chi)
It's a good solution 
Ok, thanks!
i'm glad it works!
Scratch uses "scratchix timestamps" while snap uses unix timestamps
They serve the same purpose with an offset of 30 yrs
scratch doesn't have a time in milliseconds, and snap doesn't have a days since 2000, so I don't see how that is relevant.
Scratch's days to 2000 gives u a timestamp multiplied by 86400
would this be okay to necropost on?
not with that post
@ego-lay_atman-bay okay
