Real Time System

[Draycos Goldaryn]

Ok, now here's a toughy (I think). I've seen the AWS and ATS scripts out there but was wondering, is there a way to pull the time and date from the Real clock (you know, the one in the lower right of your taskbar in M$ Windows) I'm making a game that will have different things going on depending on what time of the day you play it, or have special things depending on what day you play it, for example, Santa Claus will appear and give you gifts if you play between Dec 24 12:00am - Dec 26 11:59pm.

I think you can use Ruby's built-in "Time" class.
Look in "Help - RGSS Reference Manual - Standard Library - Built-in Classes - Object - Time" for more details.
