I'm having a little problem with a kind of journal system I've been using.
Basically there is a button in the main paying screen that the player can click to see a list of words they've been taught.
If they click any of those words, they will be shown an explanation of what the word means.

After a lot of messing around, it was working great, except for 1 problem...

Once I get a large list of vocabulary, I can't display them all. Any new words end up off screen.

I've been trying to figure out how to implement a good solution, such as having a scroll bar, or make it possible to have different pages. I should also mention that the list I want to show may have 200-500 words.



Code:
label aff_screen:
    scene bg notebook
    python:
       
        ui.hbox()
       
        # Column 1
        ui.vbox(xpos=0, ypos=50, xanchor='left', yanchor='top') # this positions the text
 

        if vocab_konbini > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini2", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini3", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini4", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini5", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini6", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini7", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
            ui.textbutton("Konbini15", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_ichi > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Ichi", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_ni > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Ni", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_san > 9:
            ui.textbutton("San", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_shi > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Shi", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_yon > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Yon", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_go > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Go", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_roku > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Roku", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_shichi > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Shichi", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_nana > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Nana", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_hachi > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Hachi", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_kyu > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Kyu", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_ju > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Ju", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_hyaku > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Hyaku", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_sen > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Sen", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))
        if vocab_man > 9:
            ui.textbutton("Man", clicked=ui.returns("dozo"))

           
        ui.text("Last line")
        ui.close() # for the vbox
       
        ui.close() # for the hbox
       
        ui.textbutton("", clicked=ui.returns("goback"))
        ui.imagebutton("return.png", "return_hover.png", clicked=ui.returns("goback"), ypos=0, xpos=0)
       
    $ picked = ui.interact()
    if picked == "goback":
        return
                                                   
    if picked == "dozo":
        $ picked = "goback"
        call explaindozo
        jump aff_screen


PS: I know that I've repeated some words, and they all lead to the same explanation. That's because I wanted this to be easier to read for other people.

You can put your vbox inside a viewport and use a hbar to scroll.

Ooh, this is exciting.

I'm still having one problem though. I can show an image in the viewport, but I'm not sure how to show the journal and the entries.

Here's what I have so far:
Code:
screen button:
    vbox xalign 0.1 yalign 0.1:
        textbutton "Notebook" action ui.callsinnewcontext("aff_screen")
    # you can also use an image button:
        imagebutton:
            idle "button_idle.png"
            hover "button_hover.png"
            action ui.callsinnewcontext("aff_screen")
 

           
    #***************** VIEWPORT ************************
screen viewport_example:
    side "c b r":
         area (100, 100, 600, 400)

         viewport id "vp":
             draggable True

             add "visabackground.png"

         bar value XScrollValue("vp")
         vbar value YScrollValue("vp")     

I've tried replacing the image with other things, with no success.

This might be that you got errors trying to replace image with multiple buttons. You see, <side "c b r":> means that one element will be placed inside the viewport (image), one - at the bottom (horizontal bar) and one - at right (vertical bar). So, you could replace image with <vbox()>, that will have all your textbuttons. Should work.

Despite checking the Ren'Py wiki, I still can't find any arguments that I can use with vbox that won't come back with a wide variety of error messages.

It's not what I had originally planned, but I think using this new method, the final result will be much better.

No only that, but now I have many new possibilities for other things I can add to the game.

Thanks a lot!
