Re: is faster Sprites or CustomDisplayable? (very technical!

I would suggest not re-rendering identical tiles. Keep a dictionary of the tiles you've already rendered this redraw, keep the render and just blit it multiple times. Other than that, I'm not really sure.

Re: Strange variable behaviour

Before I read the following post: a = b copies b if b is immutable, but creates a reference to b if b is mutable I don't buy this (at all), in python a = b will never copy anything, mutability is irrelevant. It's a simplified explanation. I had a more detailed explanation that went into this in the...

Re: Strange variable behaviour

Mutable types have reference semantics, immutable types have value semantics. sp is mutable, amount is immutable a = b copies b if b is immutable, but creates a reference to b if b is mutable (well, creates a reference to whatever b is a reference to, because mutable variables are always references...

Re: Is it possible to make two story in one VN

Edit screens.rpy, go down to screen main_menu, duplicate the "Start Game" button and give the new one Start("last_episode") or something. This will cause the game to start at 'label last_episode:' instead of 'label start:' when this new button is clicked.

Re: Strange variable behaviour

Try changing renpy.call to renpy.call_in_new_context. I don't think anything after the 'call' is running.

EDIT: Hmm, the context switch would probably screw up your transitions though, since it should hide the screen I think?

Re: How to pass a parameter in an image?

How can you pass a parameter in an image like passing parameters for transforms? Is there any way to access a variable inside an image declaration? image test(numRepeats=0): "image1" pause .3 "image2" pause .3 repeat numRepeats You can't, at least not as far as stuff that's docu...

Re: Variables can't have code? (Trying to simplify some writ

No, [] interpolation is fine for this and you shouldn't use old-style interpolation if you can avoid it. Hm okay :) That's one of MY problems I always have, I have a hard time telling what is outdated and what is current. Just today I was fiddling with layers and the documentation said there are th...

Re: Variables can't have code? (Trying to simplify some writ

No, [] interpolation is fine for this and you shouldn't use old-style interpolation if you can avoid it. Anyway, your code works fine for me. This is why you should always post the _EXACT_ code you are using and all of it, sufficient to reproduce the problem. It is a logical fallacy to presume that ...

Re: Do you think these sprites are too Anime style?

I would call them VN-style/manga-style. I wouldn't refer to them as anime-style art (anime-style is very distinct; it's not just a simplification, it's a very practiced kind of simplification that makes the high-quality tweening work they do feasible), but I know a lot of people refer to all manga a...

Re: Prices too High???

Those prices seem extremely reasonable to me given the level of quality, but I don't know what other factors commissioners have to consider. I don't think they're too high, though- from what I've seen in terms of price lists they seem quite competitive in that quality bracket. I don't know why there...

Re: Python equivalent of 'show'

You want the 'what' argument

You need to provide a name anyway though.

Re: sprites and zorder

Testing this, the new ball always appears behind the rightmost ball. Isn't this what you want?

Perhaps try updating your version of Ren'Py.

Re: sprites and zorder

you don't appear to be updating number_balls in that code. Does it have the right value after balls_sprites.append?
