I've managed to get Spring 1 to show a list of dates or make the list of dates disappear. I've also managed to get the list of dates to scroll up and down.
However, when I press the Spring button, then press down on the keyboard to make the list of dates scroll down, then press the Spring button again,
Code: Select all
if show_buttons:
at date_buttons_appear My guess is that I'm going to have to come up with an if statement for every possible combination of boolean variables if I'm going to create a menu screen using transforms.
Am I correct in my assumption? If not, how would you recommend coding a menu screen using if statements? Or could it be that if statements are the wrong way to go about triggering transforms for the menu screen? If that is possibly the case, then what other way would you do it?
If it helps, here's my code:
Code: Select all

global page_ID
page_ID = max(page_ID_min, min(page_ID_max, page_ID + 1))
renpy.retain_after_load()
renpy.restart_interaction()

global page_ID
page_ID = max(page_ID_min, min(page_ID_max, page_ID - 1))

return
Also ignore the fact that the button is showing in the corner in the beginning. I'll fix that once I've got the menu movements working.
Also ignore the unused transforms. I'm trying to implement them one by one.
