Cookbook Analog Clock Problem

[Kuh-Couch]

Hi!
I'm fiddling a bit with renpy lately again and now I'm trying something on base of the analog clock from the cookbook.

So far, I implemented the clock like in the recipe. Works fine!

Now I want it modified:

The variable minute should increment until a cerain value and show the result with every step.

I used the following code in the script:

Code: Select all

    python:
        while minutes <= 720:
            minutes =+ 10
            renpy.pause(0.05)
        #
    #

Yes. It's a simple while loop. But renpy (python?) is a bit annoying when you don't have a clue about the syntax. =/
What it does: It starts the game, it shows the clock, the clockhands move by the value 10, the game stops. I can enter the game menu though.
I think it has something to do with the pause command.

Would someone please clearify this nasty problem for me ^^ thank you =)

I think problem is <minutes =+ 10>. This just sets the value to 10 (+10 is just 10 - a positive number), so your while loop becomes infinite. Try <minutes += 10>.

Boah, I'm so stupid. It works, thanks. Man this is embarrassing ...

Anyway. Now that this is solved, I'll write here when there are new problem with what I'm planning concerning the clock =)

I've made a "screenified" version of this clock -with different features- a while ago. Since the "screenification" considerably simplified the code, I think I should share it:

Have a look at it, and use everything you want.

Display:
- plain images
- hours, minutes and seconds
- system hour with auto update (although I doubt this feature could be interesting for a VN... )
