What is the difference in formats?

[Trafagal]

Hi,

So I was applying some VN game, and I began to find something strange.

I notice that when I open my Renpy, the folders were like in the attachement.

One is a folder with lots of python files, and another with little or no python files.

Question 1 : how can I access those with Python files?
Question 2 : Is there a framework where I can copy those Python files?
Question 3 : When will i need to shift my game from those normal Ren'Py files to Python ones?

Thank you everyone for your kind guidance~!

Trafalgar.

First screen is renpy internals, don't touch them, unless you really know what you doing.
Second screen is your game files, rpyc files are compiled rpy files, they used for faster game starting and some rudimentary obfuscation.

When making game you add/remove/edit rpy files in your game project folder, you generally never touch rpy/py files in renpy folders.
When you ready to release game you "Build Distribution" thru renpy launcher and it will automatically copy all necessary files to appropriate places.

While you can use py files/packages in game https://www.renpy.org/dev-doc/html/pyth ... d-packages i would recommend to avoid it and use "init python", unless you really know what you doing.
