Would it be possible?

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

To send composer to a scene according to the date on the device? I’m trying to make a daily thing, and according to the date on the device I want it to go to different scenes. Would that be possible and how would I go about do that?

#2

maybe something like if system.date equals this then go to scene? idk of this will work but i will get back to u soon.

#3

https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/os/date.html this is some documentation on os date and stuff like that and u could make a if statment with the date and time as a constraint. Hope this helps!

Hey! I just threw this together in a min. I think this is what you want.

local date = os.date( "%A" ) --Get the day name of the week ( Today its tuesday ) local function gotoCorrectScene() if date == "Monday" then print("Today is Monday!") elseif date == "Tuesday" then print("Today is Tuesday!") elseif date == "Wednesday" then print("Today is Wednesday!") elseif date == "Thursday" then print("Today is Thursday!") elseif date == "Friday" then print("Today is Friday!") elseif date == "Saturday" then print("Today is Saturday!") elseif date == "Sunday" then print("Today is Sunday!") end end timerCheck = timer.performWithDelay( 1, gotoCorrectScene, 1 )

Good Luck!
