Showing Math equations in choices and dialog (exponents)?

[roankun]

So my teacher found out I could create games, and asked me to make a short game for her math class. Is there any way I could show all those x^2+y^2 on choices and dialog without the "^" and have them properly "raised"? I also kinda have a problem with the x/y things...

If worse comes to worst and there isn't, then I'll probably just make images of those but... >.< Deadline: tomorrow!

I don't think there is a sub/superscript tag for text. But I do believe there are ALT codes that generate the numbers like that (1-3). But your font would have to support it, I think.

As for your slash problem, if you double them up (//) then it should show.

The superscripts are available as characters you. As long as you're using the default (DejaVuSans) font, you should be able to just copy them from this post into your game.

awesomebola(x) = x⁹ + x⁸ + x⁷ + x⁶ + x⁵ + x⁴ + x³ + x² + x¹ + x⁰

Thanks for the help on the exponents!

As for your slash problem, if you double them up (//) then it should show.

Is there any way that... instead of a slash, it will be displayed as that big underline thing like in fractions?

like... uhhh... It should appear like this.
x+y
x-y

You could put it like:

Code: Select all

say "{u}x+y{/u} \n x-y"

{u} puts the text in underlines and \n means a newline (so pressing enter basically)

I'll note that Ren'Py really wasn't meant for math rendering, which is a tricky field. If you want really good math rendering use TeX or something to make an image. (But I don't know an easy way to do that.)

Thanks for the all help! I managed to manage, somehow.
