You almost got it First argument is the name of the variable as a string, the second is the new value you want assigned if the action is run

Remove the default mapping of the ESC key from the keymap?

Seems to me that that is a kind of artificial way to make a screen modal and wait for a click. Why not just “call” the screen, and have the clickable elements just Return() when it’s time to continue? You could still use a variable to decide what screen to call next, but you don’t have to show/hide ...

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/developer_tools.html mentions the "Shift+Y Style Dumping" feature. I cannot for the life of me get this feature to work. The dump_styles keymap entry is empty. I've tried adding 'Y' to it, added config.developer=True, and nothing seems to make it operate. Looking at th...

Just so people know what’s going on here, Gradle runs using Java. When the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) starts up, it has a “don’t ever use more than this amount of memory” setting. In this case, the default setting was too low, and the process was running out of memory. The gradle.porperties file men...

Also, a nit - you probably do NOT want those strings inside a _t() macro, since they probably shouldn’t be translated (being names, not text)

Well, the grid command takes a width and height. The examples show those as integer constants, but you should be able to use variables. The width is obviously going to be 2. Thus, the height is going to be half the number of elements, rounded up in the case of an odd number. You then iterate thru th...

Keyboard and mouse shortcuts are controlled by the “keymap”. Basically, you want to remove entries from it. Manipulating the keymap is documented here: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/keymap.html I actually did see that page, but I'm not quite certain I understand it. I assumed I'd be able to find "...

...if, of course, the font file is directly in the “games” folder. If it’s in a subfolder you need to provide /the/path/to/the/font.ttf

Instead of using multiple vbox’s, have you considered putting your choices in a grid? A grid sizes all its children to the size of the largest item. You’d have to dynamically calculate the number of rows and handle the case of an odd number of selections, but that might be a solution for you.

The icon you click to launch the game: No, I don’t think this is possible. That image is built into the exe - “compiled in” when you build your distribution. Modifying it requires a change to the physical executable. In theory, you could build a .lnk file that POINTED to your executable and which ha...

Well, one way to do it would be a custom Displayable.

You have pretty much complete control as to what’s displayed. This one would be a pretty simple one to code.

In your original code, I very strongly suspect that Ren’py only evaluated the call to random once - at the point where it processed the ATL logic and transformed it into the internal Python classes that it uses under the hood. In other words, when Ren’py tunes your rpy file into an rpyc file, it eva...

You’re always better off using “newer” than “older” when you can. Unfortunately, there are a lot of VERY old tutorials and examples out on the web, and Ren’py has evolved. So I always recommend that when people find examples “out there,” that they check them against the latest documentation and upda...
