How do I make Ren'Py wait for keyboard input while a graphic is on the screen, then respond to that input when a button is pressed? (for example, moving a character in a platformer.)

It's not an easy task.
You could make a screen and make some keys do some actions:

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#key
https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screen_actions.html

Or you could use sprite manager to show some objects onscreen and respond to keys/mouse inputs:

Or use pygame - https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/co ... onami_Code

Thanks! This is all beyond my ability of course, but it'll be useful should I attempt it.
