Renpy on Linux (Ubuntu)

#1 Post by fischer22 »

Hi!
I'm rather new as a Ubuntu user, and I was wandering something...
I downloaded Renpy 6.11.2 for Linux, unpacked it and did all that I thought was necessary.

However, the only way (I know) to open the program is clicking the renpy.sh and running it...
Is there another way? I'd like to click something with a nice icon (not a page icon) and maybe put it on my desktop or something.... Can it be done?

Thanx and sorry for the newbie question.

You can create a launcher by right clicking on the desktop and clicking create new launcher.

1) Click on the icon to change it. In renpy's launcher directory there should be a suitable replacement.
2) Make the name whatever you want.
3) The command to launch the game is "sh /path/to/renpy.sh". Writing this with the correct path will allow sh to launch the script file and run the program.
