Where's waldo/Hidden object minigame

[MisterHarold]

So in my vn I'd like to have a segment similar to the Where's waldo or hidden object game, but in my vn you have to find the right item on the screen. So what I want to happen is there'd be items scattered all over the background. They'll be an imagebutton which you could highlight while hovering over. You have 3 tries. If all of that is spent and you didn't find the right item, you'll jump to the label nothinghappened. If you however find the right item, you'll jump to the label somethinghappened. Also, I want there to be a counter for the number of tries on the screen. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

So, you need a screen, a variable that holds the number of tries, and a couple of imagebuttons for wrong choices itemes and one button for the right option.

You could do something like this

Code: Select all

screen findwaldo():

    default trynumb=0

    text str(trynumb)    ### renders the number of tries done to the screen


    ###  wrong buttons as many as you want
    imagebutton idle "item1i.png" hover "item1h.png" pos(50,50) action If (trynumb==2, true= Jump("nothinghappened"), false=SetScreenVariable("trynumb", trynumb+1))


    ### correct button
    imagebutton idle "item10i.png" hover "item10h.png" pos(200,150) action Jump("somethinghappened")


label start:
    show screen findwaldo
    $ renpy.pause(hard=True)


label nothinghappened:
    hide screen findwaldo
    "nothing happened"

label somethinghappened:
    hide screen findwaldo
    "something happened"
