Uncaught Exception Occurred, I need Help!

[Tsukumo Yuma]

I keep getting this message when I try to launch project, why?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While parsing /Users/Tsukumo/Desktop/GeGeGe no Kitarou/testing_something/game/screens.rpy.
ScriptError: Name u'start' is defined twice: at game/I don't know.rpy:15 and english/game/script.rpy:11.

I just started using Ren'py, so I was testing it out, this is what I had done so far in Editra



Even when I removed the top part like this.


It still said the same thing about the uncaught exception.
Can someone help me?

Hello!

I reworked your code, just changing some spacing and it is working properly.
Try using TAB when typing the code

Code: Select all

define s = Character('Satoshi', color="#c8ffc8")
define m = Character('Mitsuki', color="#c8c8ff")

label start:
    "This is Crazy!"
    
    m "I don't know what is going ooooon!!!"
    m "This isn't working!"
    s "SHUT UP!!!"
    s "You are to loud, it's annoying!"
    m  "No, you shut up!"
    ".:. Good Ending."
   
 
return

Okay, it looks like you have two files in your game folder:
"I don't know.rpy"
and "script.rpy"

Go to the top of Editra where the tabs are (NOT File, Edit etc, and not the little buttons. The tabs that are right above your code...)
What tabs do you have open?

I'm going to guess you made a new file and named it "I don't know.rpy" and then copied and pasted what was in "script.rpy" into the new one, which will spit out an error because you have two 'label start:' names. Ren'py can't go to both at the same time when you start your game

Try going in the game directory and deleting "I don't know.rpy"
Then retype your code and stuff into "script.rpy", and see if that works?
Am I making sense?
