[SOLVED!]Creating animation in the main menu with images?

#1 Post by sasquatchii »

I've been hunting around for an answer but I wasn't able to find anything on this. I'm pretty new so to coding so I'm not really sure where to look.

I would like to have an "animated" main menu screen, where stars twinkle. Instead of creating a video file for it, I would like to use multiple backgrounds that transition from one to another & repeat to give the effect of the stars twinkling. I am wondering how to do this? I'm guessing I'll need to edit the screens.rpy file, but I'm not really sure if that's right or what code I should use.

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe this or this will help?

For the one about the animated logo, I was thinking you could make stars on a transparent layer and use that as a "logo" so it can be animated.
What's in a loop? A loop iterated in any other way would output as sweet.

Have a look at my GxG kinetic novel, Movement, if you have the chance?

That worked beautifully!!! Thank you so much for sharing those links (the second link was exactly what I needed) ~

It feels good to get it working after trying to solve the problem on my own for a few hours and getting nowhere xD
