I can't replicate the first problem, but I do see the second one. You're setting playercard to a list containing the player choice instead of the choice itself. If you plug it in directly in a python shell, it turns out something like this: >>> playercard = ["Scissors"] >>> foecard = "...

Yup, you can import everything (or almost everything? I don't know if there are limitations) the same way you normally would under that "init python:" TrickWithAKnife mentioned. Lists, dictionaries, and classes are all included, so you don't have to import those.

The first problem- the one where you're only hitting two different screens- is because of how you're checking the random number. Say you randomly pull a 1. You'll skip the first if statement and take the second one because 1 != 2. Pull a 2, and you'll go down the first path....but this will also hap...

Ah, that's a syntax error. You want it to be while DummyHP is not less than zero, AKA is greater than or equal to zero, so while DummyHP >= 0: You're right in that "not" is used to negate True/False values, but order of wording is important. If you really wanted to keep it the way you had ...

Ah, Zenonia! Rare to see somebody who plays that. I did something like this using renders , which can take multiple keys for input to change how you interact with the game...I believe this was the first time I got it working (it's horribly messy; I've changed it a lot since then, but this was the ba...

Because it's not defined the first time you use it :wink: Your while loop is dependent on "DummyINI == RiouINI", but at that moment in time neither are defined at all. Ren'py and Python would both take a look at that and say, "Well, I don't remember ever seeing this variable before. W...

It would be about the same, codewise anyways. It might be a little bit tougher since enemies would be firing back at you, especially if you wanted to be able to shoot down whatever they toss at you (I have to admit that I have only the barest idea on what Policenauts looks like). Are the shooting se...

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is an overlay. Alternatively, you could make your timer "randomly" call a new label which would include the details of the phone call (but this might not be as random as you'd like, probably a pseudo-random event or something...).

Yeah, Python's elseif clause is a little weird... If you want the third option to be both of the previous two, you'd have to put that as the first if (otherwise Python will just see that the variable fits the first, more general condition and ignore the specific one you want). So something like this...

Ah, well. If you're set on Ren'py, try giving this book a lookover. I probably have more of a personal grudge against regex than it actually being horrible to learn (to be fair, who wants to be stuck using regex for 30+ hours? Pray you never have a required project that needs it). Getting simple ins...

Since Ren'py lets you program in Python, you can do close to whatever you want. I'd agree with gekiganwing in saying that it's not the ideal engine for text parsing though. You'd probably end up having to use either a ton of "does the string contain these words" (the tedious way) or regula...

Try using if statements:

If you're going to use the dungeon crawling frame without the actual dungeon, you pretty much just need the three variables under the first init, the class definitions under the second init, all of the screens except for "move", and the battle label. There's a few useful things for invento...

I totally forgot about the new versus old-style classes actually, oops. It wasn't exactly an emphasized topic for our class since the differences aren't that noticeable, but it's screwed me over more than once while using Ren'py. I'll fix that, thanks!

Actually, since Pointy is-a Skill, it's fine to inherit from Skill! The beginners' rule for inheritance (which gets a lot trickier as you move on) is that if a class is-a subcategory of another class (Dog is-a Animal, Rose is-a Flower), then using inheritance is okay. If a class contains another cla...
