Outputting an integer count

[verticalpoint]

I am currently working on a game that is intended to be a learning aid for my university's Japanese program. However, due to my lack of experience with ren'py and the python language, I seem to have come upon a stumbling block in regards to how to display a count variable. I have done some research/testing in attempt to try and figure out the problem, but it seems I am truly stumped.

Here is an example of my code:

e "ジョシュさんは車を買いました。"

menu:

"はい、彼を買いました。":

jump batsu1

"いいえ、山田さんの車を借りました。":

jump maru1

label batsu1:
voice "chigaimasu.mp3"
e "この答えは間違いです。"
e "聞いて下さい。"

show josh at rpos
with move

show josh:
zoom 1.0
linear 0.5 zoom 1.10
pause 6.5
linear 0.5 zoom 1.0

voice "sjdemo_josh1.mp3"
j "ああ。隣の山田くんで貸してくれたんだ。山田くんが東京まで運転してくれるんだ。"

hide josh
with dissolve

#"{b}Correct:{/b} %(correct_count)."
python:
incorrect_count = incorrect_count +1;
renpy.say(e, "{b}Incorrect: {/b} %(incorrect_count).")
#"{b}Incorrect: {/b} %(incorrect_count)."

jump q2

So far, I have had the program compiled correctly, but when prompted to show the count, no numbers are displayed. This is the code after I tried to change the call for incorrect count, and it causes the game to crash.

Ideally, I would like to display a count for incorrect/correct answers (dynamically updated based on user's choice) outside of the character's dialogue (like a counter at the top of the screen) and allow for output of this information to a text file/pdf for instructor use.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions you may have.

I think you need to add an s after %(incorrect_count)

But I'm wondering why you made a "python" block instead of just making variables in Ren'Py

For instance, you can say:

Code: Select all

$ incorrect_count = 0
$ incorrect_count += 1

or whatever else and not have to use a python block. You will need the $ sign there when assigning the variables values.

As for the numerical display out of the textbox, you might be looking for DynamicDisplayables (anyone know an easier way?):
http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayab ... splayables
(see Ren'Py demo for more info)

For a display outside the textbox, you should just be able to set up a screen to do it.

Code: Select all

screen count:
    frame:
        vbox:
            text ("Correct Count: %d" % correct_count)
            text ("Incorrect Count: %d" % incorrect_count)

Then simpy show screen count when you want it to appear on screen, and hide screen count to remove it.

Thank you for all of the information! Eventually after looking at some examples using ren'py code, I got it to output and keep track of the scores correctly.
