Simple (code) questions [Solved]

[PhoenixianUltima]

Hello, I am new to the forums and haven't done much searching yet, but I was wondering if there was a way to make an image scale to the size of a game window so I wouldn't get the checkerboard design (the "transparent pixel thing") behind where it doesn't reach. And if that isn't possible what my alternative options would be to achieve a similar effect.

My other question would be how to make "random events" happen, or how to make a seemingly random line of dialogue happen (i.e. player would reach where a choice of (let's say) 3 options but have the game randomly pick one (would like to adjust the odds so some are rarer than others).

Thank you in advanced for your help. Also sorry if this is the wrong forum/folder for questions like this.

From the top of the page of our General Topics forum: "Questions about Ren'Py should go in the Ren'Py Questions and Announcements forum."

Moved.

In regards to your question about image size. If it's a background or whatnot, it's always best to determine the main resolution size you want your game to be in and then go by that. I have a resolution of 800X600. So, my backgrounds are all 800X600 and then my sprites, depending on their character's height and whatnot, are a variety of sizes. If you have any questions in regards to doing this, feel free to comment here or pm me.

As for randomized choices, I don't really know how to do that, so I can't help there.

But, perhaps this forum article can. It's about random events. I hope it's what you're looking for.:

The background thing worked for me thanks

And I got the random chance thing to work from what you posted (not quite what I'm looking for, but enough to get a sample code made up to work that I can post in another forum dedicated to that to get a response that'll better suit what I want. Thanks
