i want to make a basic background animation for the main menu of my game. my original thought was to make literally 100 separate images, each one pixel different, but there's obviously a way better, more efficient way to do this, right?

You can make animated displayable using "Animation and Transformation Language"
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html
And then place it into main_menu screen, which is usually located in screens.rpy. Search "screen main_menu"
Screens are operated with Screens Language
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html
example of making simple animation and placing into a screen
Code: Select all
image rotating_sky: #defined animated image with prefered animation
'sky'
rotate 0
linear 5 rotate 360
repeat
screen main_menu():
tag menu
style_prefix "main_menu"
add rotating_sky # Placed an animated image as background
use navigation
