I'm trying to wrap my head around using MatrixColor and matrix in general. So far I have come up with: init python: class Game(object): allships = 'shmup/gfx/ships.png' shipcolor1 = 'shmup/gfx/shipcolor1.png' shipcolor2 = 'shmup/gfx/shipcolor2.png' class Sprite(object): def __init__(self, name): sel...

Right, I had totally forgotten about movetransitions...

Xela, while not producing an error, I think actual movement is desired. Kida, you are probably making the same mistake as I did all the time: You believe that with states the transform, when in reality it states a transition. The transform goes after at . show luna normal at center with dissolve l &...

It's possible, but a little challenging if you don't know your way around python yet. Ren'Py can do a lot of the needed work with its SpriteManager class, read up on that and look at the examples first. You should understand classes and lists (and ren'py/pygame events) for that. There is no quick-an...

Put it like this: init: image my_animation: 'frame0.png' pause 0.1 'frame1.png' pause 0.1 'frame2.png' pause 0.1 'frame3.png' pause 0.1 'frame4.png' pause 0.1 repeat Generally speaking, put everything that you want to happen before anything else (like declarations, definitions and so on) in an init:...

The main menu is a screen like any other, in screens.rpy. You can just insert a displayable there that you made to animate, like: image my_animation: 'frame0.png' pause 0.1 'frame1.png' pause 0.1 'frame2.png' pause 0.1 'frame3.png' pause 0.1 'frame4.png' pause 0.1 repeat You can freely change the fi...

Just select your project in Ren'Py and click "Change Theme". It should be under the big "Navigate Script".

Ah, I was thinking it would look for a file named "arrow" then... thanks.

Why does this result in NameError: name 'arrow' is not defined? I'm sorry if it is obvious, but I'm feeling incredibly stupid right now...

Try clicking the middle mouse button aka mouse wheel

Not really a valid question if you read the documentation: Call . I did: allowing the return statement to return control to the statement following the call . Following the call is the next line of the function. I'm not that much of a professional programmer to know the implicit difference between ...

That actually makes more sense! I only use longer variable names in places where I don't need them often, so I remember what they mean in case I want to change something later. I know that documenting stuff is more practical, but I don't feel like documenting every dummy variable I ever use in every...

As long as it works when I use it like that, I'm fine with simplyfied explanations :-) @Xela: I think ui.interact is exactly what I needed, I will try to change my engine to processing all clicks through that in a main loop and only show the screens instead of calling them. This will be a lot of wor...

That explains a lot, though I find it confusing that variables behave in different ways. Back to my initial problem: This is strange. I watched the variable lastspell through the console when something didn't work, and this happened: def cast_spell(self, sp): global lastspell self.setactivecharacter...

Thank you, that clears it up! I guess I will have to stop thinking of "a = b" as "the contents of b are copied to a", but instead as "a is another name for what b is a name for". But another question: Why does this change the sp outside the function: class Test: def cas...
