I'm pretty sure the higher-level stuff is doable, but I'm a bit new to this myself. ^_^;;;;;; Anyone else have an idea?

deinarious wrote:how do I make a variable properly?

$ Kamehameha='known'

deinarious wrote:*facepalms* right! I forgot that!

-edit- quick question : how do I make a variable properly? just want to make sure I have the right idea.

start:
  $ my_first_variable = 'something-or-other' # words or text
  $ my_second_variable = 10 # a number

deinarious wrote:Okay, I am new to Ren'Py (and programming in general), and I had some questions regarding functions I wanted to add to my game.

First off, how would I make a mini-game that required the player to match a set of keys or symbols, perhaps even musical notes, that rewarded the player with something, like bonus points for a certain girl, or an item?

Second, how would I make a shop system that coincided with an inventory system and a gift giving system?

And third, how would I make a special power system, like spells or such, along with stats to go with them? My thought was to make a few spells that the player would know from the start, and would learn through various parts of the game, to do things like predict what the favorable response would be for a question, or to impress the characters that the player is trying to win over.

Please respond.

$ inventory=[
    'apple',
    'peach'
  ]

if inventory.find('apple'):
  e "Oh, an apple!  May I have it?"
else:
  e "My, isn't the weather nice today?"

Code: Select all

(I presume the extra ']' was a markup-code accident)


Also note that if you're dealing with numbers you don't need the single-quotes:

Code: Select all

$ my_numeric_variable = 10

- if you use the single quotes it means you're dealing with text. If you're usisg numbers, then don't use the single quotes and you can do stuff like:

Code: Select all

$ a = 10
$ b = 5 + a

if (b > 10):
  e "Hey look, a number above ten!"
