Espruino Clock Module

 var Clock = require("clock").Clock;
  var clk=new Clock(2014,4,15,23,45,0,0);   // Initialise with specific date
  var clk=new Clock("Jun 23, 2014 12:18:02");   // ... or Initialise with specific date from a string

  // every time the button is pressed, print the current time..
  setWatch(function() {
    var d1=clk.getDate(); 
    print(d1.toString()); // prints "Thu May 15 2014 23:45:05" 
  }, BTN, { edge : "rising", repeat : true, debounce : 10 } );

  // You can also update the current time
  clk.setClock(Date.parse("Jun 23, 2014 12:18:02"));

From above ...
var clk=new Clock(2014,4,15,23,45,0,0); // Initialise with specific date
print(d1.toString()); // prints "Thu May 15 2014 23:45:05"

It does what it says BUT the number "4" for the month is April and 5 should be for May.
Looks like someone started to use, for the months, 0-11 and not the normal 1-12?
Are you going to keep the months index this way?

Hi,

Yes, that's intentional. Normal Javascript has a date class that we implement, and it works just like that.

It's strange I know - but it would be worse if we behaved totally different to normal javascript.

Is this module available for Puck.js ? I tried this code and it says module "clock" not found.

Did you upload using the right-hand side of the IDE? The clock module needs to be loaded off the net, so it has to be uploaded first via the right-hand side so the IDE can detect its use and upload it.

However, you may find that the Date class does everything that you need all by itself? http://www.espruino.com/Reference#Date

You can turn on Set Current Time in the Web IDE so that it will automatically set the correct time whenever you upload code.
