I'm new and just wanted to Ask a question?

[Izsak]

Hey there, I'm still very new to Ren'py and I hope this is in the right place. So i'm just copying the script from "The Question" so I can get a feel for the language and I was jsut wondering if someone could please explain what:

# The game starts here.
label start:
$ bl_game = False

what does $ bl_game = False do?

Thanks

That just defines a variable for later. When you choose a certain choice the variable changes to true to record that choice.

It's just a variable with the value "False"
later on in the game there's a question about the game they'll make being a bl(Boys Love) game, it'll be set to "True" there, so the ending can have an additional line^^

Just for future reference - an easy way to find out what variables do if you aren't sure is to just ctrl+F and search for the variable name. It'll crop up in the script wherever it's used!
