Is there a fill in the blank mini game?

[iamcloudy90]

I was hoping to make a game with a mini game that asks the player to fill up the missing words in the blanks and then if it's correct the game will show it's output and add additional points for the "good ending" points for the route he chose. is there any way to do this?


BTW sorry im still a newbie but i'm trying my best

I can't really help much but I think this might help in one way or another

Code: Select all

define pov = Character("[povname]")

python:
    povname = renpy.input("What is your name?")
    povname = povname.strip()

    if not povname:
         povname = "Pat Smith"

pov "My name is [povname]!"

You can use renpy.input()
The example by rayminator uses that function for the povname, but you can use it to ask for words.

is there any other way like there there are blanks and the player will fill them up?

Yes, you can create your own screen and include "input" in it.
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#input
You can position different words in it and the input box where you need it.
A simple example:

Code: Select all

screen fillthegap(phrase):
    frame:
        align (.5, .4)
        padding (20, 25)
        has hbox
        spacing 10
        for i in phrase.split():
            if i.startswith("*"):
                input length 10  # Maximum number of characters
            else:
                text i

label start:
    scene black with None
    call screen fillthegap("one two three *four five")
    if _return == "four":
        "Yes"
    else:
        "Oh, no"

oh thanks, is there any tutorial link on how to add mini games in a game?

[xavimat]

What do you mean "minigames"?
You can add screens in the point of the game you want.
Do you need more complex behavior? Describe what do you need and maybe we can help.

i was thinking of making a mini game where the player inputs fill in the blank answers and the good ending will be reached depending on how many correct answers the player had. (of course along with the proper choices of responds through out the story)

The code I suggested can be used for that. Put a variable to add points with every correct answer.

ok thanks a lot,
