Do I need to change anything about the clocks during a leap year?

Good week to everyone!
I have a question and have difficulty understanding the answers I found.
2024 is a leap year, what should I do for the screens that are already published and the upcoming ones?
Does the system do it automatically or do any changes need to be made?
Thank you very much in advance!

Boa semana a todos!
Estou com uma duvida e, dificualdade de entender a respostas que encontrei.
2024 é ano bixesto como devo fazer para as telas que já estão publicadas e as proximas?
O sistema faz automaticamente ou é necessário alguma alteração?
Desde já agradeço!

If you have any countdown designs you will need to manually change the coding for those. It was a lot of fun in my early years here, but as I am having to maintain those when Leap Year hits, it’s not so much fun anymore. I could spend a whole day just fixing holiday countdowns to conform. :upside_down_face:

I’m creating one or two screens for 2024, but I don’t know how to do that.
Could you give me some help?

Eu esta criando uma ou duas telas para 2024 mas, não sai como fazer isso.
Poderia me dar um auxílio?

I’m pretty sure a few guys already know the correct tags to use, and forgive me if I’m wrong, but pretty sure @mrantisocialguy has a Tag or 2 for Leap Years :thinking:

Not quite sure what you want to achieve…

Normal time and dates work as expected, but as soon as you what something to happen on a day that varies per year, such as easter, it becomes a little more difficult.

Or a countdown to a certain day, that is beyond the 28th of February, and you want the countdown to work for every year, then you need to do a bit of math, like my halloween countdown:

My intention was that in the new year the fireworks would appear on January 1, 2024 and then the image would be different but…very complicated in my opinion but I came to see if someone could develop this idea for me, just for a model now in 2024…

Minha intenção era que no ano novo os fogos aparecessem no dia 01 de janeiro de 2024 e, em seguida a imagem ficasse sendo outra mas…muito complicado em imagino mas, vim ver se conseguia alguem me desenvolver essa ideia, apenas para um modelo agora em 2024…

1st of Jan should not be too difficult…

Will you be a friend? I had this idea but I can’t even imagine how it could be done? And, not even making the image return to the previous one on January 1, 2024…I think I’m inventing and dreaming about a lot of things…laughs

The tags that I was using were from Facer’s early days. They worked if it was a leap year but automatically did not change back to non-leap year.

Use #DD# in the opacity field. If the value is 1, it is New Year.

This depends on what you had in those designs, or what you plan to do. Plain dates work automatically, no action needed.
Formulas for countdowns (for example to Christmas) need correction to 366 instead 365 days in time from after the date in year before leap year to the date in the leap year. We discussed it here Christmas Countdown

1st January is in the part of year, where leap year does not have influence, if you just want something to appear or disappear on that day. The condition is easy, works same on every year $#DD#==1?100:0$ for opacity (or different numbers for coordinates, if it is animation which needs to be shifted out of screen)

I published this the other day . It is open to Inspection . I have absolutly no Idea where the Countdown Formula came from .Community Gift . It needed Fixing this year for some reason . I have not tested it for all the years that are shown on the Creator Time Machine . I have tested it out till the Unix Timer is Defunct . All the timers will change after that .
I have modified the formula for different Aniversarys . it is not that difficult with the help of #DD# on the time Machine . It is relatively obvious which numbers have to be changed . Remember ther is an extra Leap year every 400 years .

I like challenges, sometimes, but I doubt that what we do here, will be still in use in 2400. :slight_smile:

Well, I see it in a way that maybe we’re creating a legacy here.
Some kids in 2400 may dig out the Facer archives in a museum, play with a smartwatch, and think: “Wow, these guys were on it!” :sunglasses:

Sadly they are going to have to build themselves a converter from the 32 bit UNIX Timer to the new one what ever they decide to call the 64 bit one ( and a chat with Marvin on the server in L.A. ) However the Elgin Pocket watch sitting next to it in the Cabinet will just need a Couple of Twiddels of the Winder .

Thank you all very much… I would really like the image to change just for New Year’s Eve and then return to the normal image, I’ll see if I can and then I’ll put it here so you can take a look.
I loved the screen that my friend Russel put up with the phrase passing by, I’ll see if I can put it up for the day first.

Muito obrigado a todos…eu realmente gostaria que a imagem mudasse apenas na passagem de ano e, depois voltasse a imagem normalvou ver se consigo e depois coloco aqui para que possam dar uma olhada.
Adorei a tela que o amigo Russel colocou com a frase passando vou ver se consigo colocar a mesma para o dia primeiro.
