I Feel I Am Doing Things the Hard Way

#1 Post by ghostlike »

Hello!
I am working on a visual novel in ren'py and today, I created my first scene! WOO!
I believe, however, that my coding style is very rigid and I am wondering if there are easier ways of doing what I want to do so they look less ... amateurish, even if it *is* amateurish. Is there anyone who wouldn't mind taking a look at the code for this scene and offer me some feedback on what I'm doing right / wrong?

You can, but dont really show all of it, just show at least the shorter ones. So nobody would steal your idea.
I am a friendly user, please respect and have a good day.

The "amateurness" of your coding style depends on what you're coding, but keep in mind that people who are playing your game don't know what your code looks like. If you still want help, I can take a look at what you're doing. You can replace the dialogue with random text if you want.

Build the basics first, then add all the fun bits.

Please check out my games on my itch.io page!
