Re: Has OELVN development peaked?

Stagnation doesn't mean stop. Actually, I think you'll find that that's exactly what stagnation means. Peaked doesn't mean it won't unpeak either. You guys could be the next indie Hideo Kojima but if something has peaked, it's peaked. Either you changed your mind in the 4 minutes between these comm...

Re: [Group Play 2] Go! Magical Boy

Just finished playing through one route a little earlier, and my thoughts are as follows: +The writing style was good, especially if you like a sarcastic narrator, as I do. +The art, while fairly simple, works quite well. +The idea is an interesting take on an established genre. -Characters were fla...

Re: Setting up a stat system, when...

That's ok, 'cause you set ypos'es for your columns, that are 0.33 for first, 0.67 for second, and 1pxl for third (1 - is in pixels, but 1.0 - would be "bottom"). If you'll remove "ypos" from vbox'es they all should appear on the same level. That solves it. Only now there's a new issue. I started pu...

Re: Setting up a stat system, when...

This might be that two rest columns are outside of screen - set the maximum length of bars to let all the stuff fit on screen ui.bar(power, power_xp, xmaximum=100) http://www.renpy.org/wiki/ui.bar I'd've sworn I tried this, but apparently not as it did help. Mostly. Only now the bars are not aligned.

Re: Setting up a stat system, when...

That's what I'm looking for, thanks. What's more, I managed to replicate my issue with the stat screen. As far as I can tell, the code should give me three different columns, but as the screenshot shows, doesn't. screen button: vbox xalign 0.1 yalign 0.1: textbutton "Show stats" action ui.callsinnew...

Re: Setting up a stat system, when...

1) it would help if you posted your attempt, so that other people can try and see what you did wrong looking at the link, I actually find it kind of strange that the code uses both sl and the old ui functions... I tried about a dozen different vaariations, and the best I got was still useless. I'd ...

Setting up a stat system, when...

Having hit a +2 Wall of Writer's Block in my primary project, I decided to throw my efforts at another of the half-dozen or so project ideas I have lying around until such time as I could figure out a way around the block. Not being particularly skilled, experienced, or schooled in programming, I na...

Re: Robots!!!

The point of programming anything is that in order for a computer program to work, it has to make sense logic-wise. The only way I think we can emulate human irrational decision making in a computer program is by doing exactly what I mentioned above - to make an arbitrarily large number of variable...

Hello, I'm swinkee, and I suck at introductions. I live in Western Canada, and am currently experimenting with Ren'Py (writer/programmer, heavy emphasis on the writer part).
