Portrait mode

[trajano]

Is there a good starting point for making Ren'py work with a Portrait mode for small devices?

So far I made the following attempt. https://pasteboard.co/ImFALNq.png

I also changed the game resolution to 360 x 640 so 1px == 1dp. Given that I set the font sizes to match the typical typography sizes (i.e. 16px for default). I took out all the variant "small" stuff for my sample so far

it's pretty much resizing the screen and bigger fonts, you have to make a different version of the game for small screens with modified sizes

Its actually a bit of layouting too because the preferences load and save screens are not designed to be portrait.

This (and the post two later) may be of interest to you.

Note that it is old and has been updated a small amount, particularly the quick menu, since the post (same link used)

There are more updates to apply, general cleaning and tidying, but I have not had time to work on it for a few months.

Here is an example of it in its latest state, a Rock, Paper Scissors game I still need to finish (note that no side image was used for this project)

EDIT

I have gone ahead and finished up the GUI. Its not as polished as the GUI in my RPS game, but thats more specialised so not that easy to just copy.

Note that NVL mode is somewhat rough, and may require more work.
I'll put this in the cookbook, I think.

I haven't gone too far in the deep end yet, but what's NVL mode?

[Imperf3kt]

NoVeL mode.
It's an alternative way of presenting a visual novel where the say window covers the entire screen and previous dialogue remains onscreen until cleared, similar to the history screen, or as the name implies, just like reading a novel.


By the way, this prompted me to post this, which is more updated and standardised and includes an example
