What's the best codec and container for Ren'py?

I'm using mkv container with flac audio codec for lossless audio;
mkv container with ogg audio codec for lossy audio;
webm container with x264 video codec, flac audio codec for FMVs.

I'm just wondering what is the best optimized combination for Ren'py?

Okay, so how do I launch ren'py from within ren'py? For example, my directory... ./game/ ./game1/ ./game2/ ./game3/ ./lib/ ./renpy/ ./renpy.app/ ./renpy.exe ./renpy.py ./renpy.sh ./log.txt So, when renpy is launched, it selects the game folder by looking to folder named by executable (except for fol...

Oh, by the way, usually when my CPU is over 100% my laptop usually doesn't go over 56°C at 6200RPM fan, but somehow Ren'Py is making my laptop hotter when it is using up the 100% CPU...

Ren'Py is using 25% CPU whenever it is on the screen. Whenever Ren'Py isn't on the screen, or is completely covered by other windows, the CPU usage goes to over 100%... and my legs are burning. (77°C and climbing with fans set to 6200RPM) What a waste. I'm on OS X El Capitan 10.11.1 Beta (15B22c) an...

If you want to obfuscate, randomizing the names of your resource files/variables might be a good idea.

Of course, if you do obfuscate, it will be hard for people to fix your game if it gets broken by a new renpy/OS/library update. So I advise you shouldn't obfuscate for the better.

Looking at the leaked Wii U SDK, I think it's possible to port SDL to the Wii U easily, since GX2 functions are basically OpenGL functions.

But that's the hard option.

It would be much easier to just port the game to a different framework, as xela said.

Okay, so I looked at the renpy tutorial game, and this gave me some hints. Here's an lua script to convert it automatically. (note: you may need to make some changes yourself) local file = io.open(arg[1]) local oldtrans = nil local translatearray = {} for line in file:lines() do local firstchar = li...

How to I convert translation file from old .rpt to new format?
