You've reached a page on the Ren'Py wiki. Due to massive spam, the wiki hasn't been updated in over 5 years, and much of the information here is very out of date. We've kept it because some of it is of historic interest, but all the information relevant to modern versions of Ren'Py has been moved elsewhere.
Some places to look are:

The following variables must exist in your game path/route (label start is a good choice) in order for the Digital Calendar to function properly (actual values are simply examples):
$ minutes = 750#must be initially defined.
$ clock = True#make false to hide the calendar
$ theweekday = 3#tuesday, the number of the weekday, this automatically changes but must be initially assigned
$ themonth = 9#september, the number of the month, this automatically changes but must be initially assigned
$ theday = 21#this automatically changes but must be initially assigned
$ theyear = 2010#this automatically changes but must be initially assigned
$ dayofyear = 264#you must calculate this properly, this automatically changes
$ yearlim = 365#initially define it as 265 or 366, whichever is correct, this gets changed automatically later
$ daylim = 30#initially define it as 28, 29, 30, or 31, whichever is correct, this gets changed automatically later
$ stringweekday = "Tuesday"#3, the string of the weekday, this automatically changes but must be initially assigned
$ stringmonth = "September"#9, the string of the month, this automatically changes but must be initially assignedThe following code must exist in one of your code files, preferably as a separate rpy file. (X/yalign can be changed if desired...)

screen say:
if(clock):
$ Calendar()
$ Clocks()After you do this, all you have to do is add minutes on like so (in the actual game script):
$ minutes = minutes + 112#or whatever
