So, just to make sure I understand what it is that you’re trying to do - when someone chooses “Red,” what you want is for the text of the menu to change to the corresponding color? Instead of (or in addition to) interpolating the name of the color via “[eyes]”? (Just want to make sure I understand t...

If you typed it in your program exactly as you have it in your question, you’re missing an equal sign between “color” and the #

This should work. Do you want to post the code for a menu where it isn’t working?

Just for clarity, “call screen x” puts screen x up on the screen, and then waits for the execution of a Return or Jump action. If (via a button, for example) you execute the action Return(), the screen will be removed and execution will continue with the statement right after the “call screen x” sta...

I think that the core problem is that the menu has decided on its options, and is now waiting for an interaction from the user. (I.e. blocked, waiting for one of the buttons (IN THE MENU) to be pressed. In parallel, you have a screen that has been shown which updates the variable. But this action do...

That sounds like a nice feature.

I could also see value in the “minus” and “plus” syntax by themselves (i.e. without the save/restore functionality implied by the @ sign)

The JAVA_HOME variable is used by a LOT of stuff to see if Java is installed (and to find it) but for some reason the installers don’t tend to set it. Never understood that, because it’s part of the Oracle documentation, as opposed to having been made up by the community or some such. Glad you’re up...

Just a guess, - in addition to have put the java bin directiory in the path, is JAVA_HOME set to the root of the Java install?

Well, where is the anchor point on the image? If it’s in the center, then cropping is going to change the upper left corner position, since the image will be smaller.

Apologies for the long delay in response - I was away. You're correct that renpy.retain_after_load() apparently doesn't work with screens that are displayed via "show screen" and variables they modify. It does, however, work with screens that are displayed via "call": default save_num = 0 screen sav...

I’m going to echo the conventional sentiment here that disabling the standard keys that lots of users expect to work is probably a bad idea, but... The functions that keys perform are controlled by they “keymap.” If you read the documentation page called “Customizing the Keymap” (sorry I can’t give ...

Part of your problem is likely the fact that images are defined at “init” time, which happens well before your “show” and “python” code runs. Basically, I’m pretty sure you can’t get variables to interpolate into ATL at runtime like that. You need something that’s dynamic, which vanilla images aren’...

Then what you need is a second variable to hold the “personal” password and an “input” process so that they can set it. Then you can do something like

Well, your code shows your screen code, but doesn’t show how you’re using the screen you defined. Can you post a sample that fully shows the problem?

You could do this with a Creator-Defined Displayable. Within those, you have access to the underlying pygame surface and drawing primitives. Basically, have the CDD draw the lines, leaving the rest of the resulting render transparent, and then show the CDD, as you would any other displayable/image, ...

I’m guessing that you’re calling the screen, and saving while the screen is still active. When Ren’py does a restore, it effectively rolls back to the beginning of the last command. Thus, to the beginning of the “call screen,” and so your variable has the pre-screen value. What you need is renpy.ret...
