There currently is no way to access the systems clock. I have thought about
using it to randomize the seed value in a rand statement but it doesn't make
sense to use if unless you want no control over repeatability of a pattern.

You trying to make a scene you can distribute to others that will match the
time in their time zone ? Otherwise why not just type the time in ?
