Increment a variable at each build

[korova]

I have no idea if what i wish is possible or not, so i'm asking the renpy specialists of this forum.

I'd like that each time I make a build of my game (using the "building packets" feature of the renpy launcher), I can increment a variable in my game (persistent variable)

So, is there any instruction or line of code that I can put in my script, that can detect that a build is done ?

(In case you want to know why, I'd like to keep track of how many builds I make, and I often lose track when doing it manually...)

Thanks for your attention.

There isn't really a good way to do this. (And it wouldn't be a persistent variable.) If you really wanted to, you could edit launcher/distribute.rpy and have it increment - for example - a .txt file before building. But that's going to be a pain, since the file will change a lot.

Your best bet would be something like a git post-commit hook that updates a version.txt file each time you commit your code.

OK, thanks for the answer.

I guess I'll have to keep track another way, and be more focused about it...
