Please support os.date()

It would make it easier to do ‘daily bonus’ ‘daily spin’ type stuff.

I’ve implemented a class to handle dates in luna, you might find it suits your needs.

BradSharp/luna/blob/master/examples/date.lua

local class = require'luna'

local date = class {

	__construct = function (this, time)
		local s=type(time)=='number' and time or os.time()
		this.ticks = s
		local fy,dim=math.floor(s/126230400),{31,0,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31}
		local y,s,m,d,h,mm=fy*4,s-(126230400*fy)
		for i=1,4 do local sy=i==2 and 31622400 or 31536000
			if s<(sy) then break
			else y=y+1 s=s-(sy)
		end end
		for i=1,12 do local sm=(i==2 and ((y%4)==0 and 29 or 28) or dim[i])*86400
			if s<(sm) then m=i break
			else s=s-(sm)
		end end
		local d=math.floor(s/86400) s=s-(d*86400)
		local h=math.floor(s/3600) s=s-(h*3600)
		local mm=math.floor(s/60) s=s-(mm*60)

BAD ASS.

I’m a gonna use your date function right now; next week I’m going to dig into your luna module and figure out what makes it tick. Seems like a really tight file for all it does.

os.date() would definitely be easier.

Why was this stripped out of the library to begin with…

Glad I could help.

It’s very useful and powerful indeed. If you do spot anything though, perhaps a minor optimization or the like, then feel free to let me know.
