Ren'Py and Python depend heavily on indentation. Each module or block is defined depending on its indentation. So it's not a good idea to place use navigation anywhere inside the frame without looking at the indentation because then you'll be interrupting the frame definition. Next, let's look at th...

This is a nice list of steps and resources, and a good post to refer to when just starting out. Thanks for taking your time to compiling it!

First off, I like your choice screen design! You're looking for the hbox/vbox elements for the invisible containers you want (http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#vbox). To create a layout like that, I think using the side element is a good idea (http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#side...

EDIT: After rummaging around, I finally found a way to set the adjustment value directly with this action: SetField(yadj, "value", yadj.range) I would've figured it out earlier if I looked at the documentation on ui.adjustment: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_python.html#ui.adjustment It's a b...

I'm not sure about why this happens. I tried to set that config variable in a new game and it also returns an exception. Maybe the best course of action is to try the cookbook code, since it doesn't use this variable?

You just need to reorder your screen elements. Take a look at your cg_gallery code: screen cg_gallery: tag menu use navigation frame background None xpos 0: #... The screen first uses the navigation screen, so that's the first element painted to the screen. Then it adds a frame element, which looks ...

You can substitute the image in the button for the places with no action. You'll have to replace that place with the same one that has no actions, maybe using one of these methods? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2582138/finding-and-replacing-elements-in-a-list-python if place_items[page_curr][1]...

Check the Ren'Py Tutorial game for Layers and Advanced Show - or open the file demo_layers.rpy. There's a section on using as to make multiple images show.

Looks like that's caused by a typo in the filename. TrueType fonts have the extension .ttf:

The input feature works with an OK textbutton instead of pressing Enter, but it may or may not make it to the final; although it would be nice to have, I might change it to another GUI element that's more manageable. That button method does sound iffy, so I'll just make do with what I have right now...

Currently I have a screen displayed with an image as the background, make it a rectangle for simplicity. This screen uses several other screens with varying degrees of interaction: buttons, input fields, viewports, etc. Now since I'm only calling show_screen , the player can still advance the game w...

You can try using the mousearea element (http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#sl-mousearea) and set the hovered property to an action to show the buttons. I've done this in my game before but I changed it to a different menu layout.

On the preferences screen, text speed was cranked all the way up to max. Can you check to see if this is still true on her game? If I recall correctly, the behaviour for text speed at 0 and max is very similar, as 0 is instant and max is very quick. Maybe have hers set to something in the middle? I...

I like to see more stories involving parents more so this definitely catches my eye. If it was up to me, the reader would be able to see both the children and father's thoughts equally, but it may be confusing to readers who're used to one point of view. What you have now is fine. I thought of Usagi...

Two things in response: 1) I think an editable link/index page to useful posts in the cookbook/Questions & Answers section that also merges FAQs would be really great. There are so many great things in both of those threads and people don't always search, know what keywords to search for, etc. So o...
