Congratulations! I'm sure some of the Ren'Py experts will help you (I'm not really one), but a good way is to look at scripts of other people. Scripts you can look at are:
- ren'py demo game
- moonlight walks (inside the extras folder)
- winn freddie
... and so on.

Question 1
Let's say I have a BG named BG_1.jpg and BG_2.jpg

I want BG_1.jpg to be displayed for about 4 seconds and then BG_2.jpg then start the game without using animation.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Are you talking about starting the game without having to make the user go through a menu, or something that happens before the menu, or something that happens after the menu?

You'll definitely want a pause as part of it, something like:

Code: Select all

scene black

with None
show bg bg_1
with dissolve

$renpy.pause(4)

with None
show bg bg_2
with dissolve

But it's hard for me to know exactly where you want this.

The player was asked a question as to which door shall she opens and then a menu will pop up that will probably look like this

Door No.1
Door No.2
Door No.3

Then chooses Door No.3 and a text will pop up saying "None" then jumps back to the Menu but this time Door No.3 will no longer be accessible in the menu and after choosing all doors a new question will pop up (One Question) and then the story moves forward.

Code: Select all

$ seen_1 = False
$ seen_2 = False
$ seen_3 = False

menu timewaster:
    "Door 1" if not seen_1:
        $ seen_1 = True
        "None"
        jump timewaster
    "Door 2" if not seen_2:
        $ seen_2 = True
        "None"
        jump timewaster
    "Door 3" if not seen_3:
        $ seen_3 = True
        "None"
        jump timewaster
     "Secret Door" if seen_1 and seen_2 and seen_3:
         "You discover a secret door!"

"And now you go on to the rest of the game."

Just to correct mikey a bit, the script for MW is in scripts/, not in extras/.
