Cantr Calendar

Postby UloDeTero » Wed Feb 15, 2006 7:50 pm

I decided to create a simple calendar, so it's easier to see what Cantr day relates to what Real day. This might a useful reference for people writing Cantr stories, etc, for instance.

Cantr Calendar (1 Real Year)

It's a HTML file with javascript, so you can view it and print it in a web browser. To change the year, you'd need to change a couple of values in the coding.

Maybe some day I'll try to improve it...

Now all we need is for someone to sit down and write a program to work-out the Cantr time (and update it every noe#w and again when time Cantr time slips)
Whoever you vote for.

The government wins.

Wow, that is excellent Ulo. This will really help with PD work, where we use both Cantr and real dates. It's so hard to figure out sometimes, but now I won't have to. Thanks! :)

Too bad it will be completely useless as soon as the time lag meets a day.

Nick: I don't really understand the technical reasons behind the 'lag' I keep hearing about, but any necessary changes can be easily made by editing the source code.

As an aside, I've now recreated the Calendar in Esperanto and Polish. It's a simple case of changing the names of the months, and the abbreviated names of the days (ie: Mon, Tue, etc) to those of the new language. The only complication is if there are any accents, in which case they need to be converted from Unicode to HTML (which is easy when you know how, and have the right 'tools').

If anyone wants to edit the source to display a different language, please do so! :D
Alternatively, email or PM me and I'll do it for you.

You should post a downloadable for those of us who have insane parental controls that blacklist any site that is partialy important to a game.

Just save the page: go to the calendar, select "Save Page" or the equivalent from the File menu of your browser, and save the HTML file on your computer somewhere.
Of course, this requires that you get around the parental controls at least once - use another computer, I guess, and e-mail the file to yourself.

Or, if you ask me nicely, I'll email it to you! 8)

I'm not sure whether it's possible to have a HTML file as a downloadable link, unless it's within a ZIP file or something. It's really a lot easier just to save it, as Sho said.

Actually, now I think about it, if you right-click on the link leading to the calendar you should be able to save it from there (Save target as...) Having said that, I'm not familiar with parental controls, so I don't know what they block...

[Edit: Sorry, notsure! :lol: I dunno, you miss one letter, and suddenly your post is X-rated! :oops:]
