Custom Menu
Hey there I'm trying to make a custom menu that starts off with 52 items, that slowly diminish over time.
Think a deck of cards, that when you play a card it does it's thing, but it's no longer in the deck anymore.
The problem is, at the start I need to be able to have 52 items in the menu.
I'm thinking the easiest solution is to add a defined menu size, and a scroll bar (as at the moment, they all just spiral off the top and bottom of the screen.)
but I'm open to counter suggestions

Re: Custom Menu
Would also be interested in a way to easily randomize a smaller segment of the 52 options, or have a series of images across the screen be a menu instead. Still looking for help on this.

Re: Custom Menu
If your concern is to fit those 52 choices, then it's just a matter of styling the screen menu in your screens.rpy.
Try using viewports etc.

Re: Custom Menu
I'm not sure how to use viewports. I'm SUPER new to this.
Is there a way to add code in screens.rpy to add a slider bar to menus?
