TIME JavaScript (simple code)

[sleepbedtime]

In this example you will see how to display real time in a very simple way via javascript editor.

I made it so that there are no gaps.
For example: 4: 7: 8 is 04:07:08

Hi, Nice example
Here is my review

• This:
  var currentHours = today.getHours();
  var currentMins = today.getMinutes();
  var currentSecs = today.getSeconds();

Does the same as:
var currentHours = ('0'+today.getHours()).substr(-2);
var currentMins = ('0'+today.getMinutes()).substr(-2);
var currentSecs = ('0'+today.getSeconds()).substr(-2);
Then why add 0 and then remove it using substr?

• There is a unused NewExternalLayout, please remove it
• There is no real reason to have the JS events inside a external event. Move to the Event sheet
• Change the package name to com.example.systemtime
• There is an invalid resource. Please remove it
• You can change the background color by right clicking in the scene editor -> Scene properties -> Scene background color. No need to use an action
• It is not important that the scene variable name is the same as the var in the Js codeblock. It's the opposite (as far as I know). In the Js codeblock, your are getting the value of the scene variable. So, the comment is a bit misleading
• There is an unsed year scene variable
• Initialize the variable time in the variables editor
• There is an unused instance variable of the text
• Please follow the best practices

Hello, thank you for your interest

.
I tried to put this code instead of mine, but what I get is a clock where there is no “0” in the first place. That doesn't really look good to me

I will try to explain a bit how my code works (picture below)

As you can see. Our program first gets a "0", then gets a "number" from the system time. But if the system gives only the second number in a row, "0" is still valid in our code. If we get both two numbers, then we subtract 0.

Please include the whole project file and not only the json file :)

My bad for misunderstanding the use of the code 😅

What about submitting an extension instead of an example?
