The difference between the two files "renpy" and "renpy-32"

#1 Post by yoyuchi »

There are two files in the Renpy program: "renpy" and "renpy-32". When I build for Windows, the executable also says, "a."exe" and "a-32.exe". What is the clean difference between these two executables? Does "-32" mean for 32-bit PCs (xp)? When I make the installer, can I delete the "-32.exe" file and make the installer? Thank you in advance.

Yes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but deleting the 32 bit executable of your renpy sdk doesnt make it build your game with only a.exe. That setting is up to your build options that you set when you build the game.

Yes, the additional '-32' in the filename means that is the build for 32 bit PC's and will not be needed if you only plan to release for 64 bit PC's
