Shortcuts in Ren'Py games?

#1 Post by Aoi14 »

I made a previous topic in Ren'Py about using .exe files in conjunction with a VN. I now see an alternative method which seems a little more possible.

I was thinking that I could create a button, or shortcut within my Ren'Py game that would open a separate .exe file bundled in the game directory. However, I have absolutely no idea a how to go about this- I have a feeling I may need some Python scripting. :?

Once again, help is much appreciated!! :D
Working on VNs. As usual :P

try playing with os.startfile
https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.html#os.startfile
or os.system, if os.startfile not working/not enough
