How many frames are involved? If it’s just a few, then you can define an image with an [ATL block](https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html#image-statement-with-atl-block) to define the animation. Then, you’d show it like any other image. If it’s longer, then just create a video.

Any of the video formats that Ren’Py [supports](https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/movie.html#movie). If you want transparency, then webm files are your only real option and you’d have to specify a mask as well. Not too difficult to do, once you get the hang of it, but still an extra step.

I think indentation (tabulator) are responsible for your problems. The tabulators and the colons (:) have a special meaning so you cannot put them randomly.

You can have those defined variables before label start. But if you do, you replace “$” symbol with default.

Saying “if:” is not the correct way to do it. Also, your jump command needs to be indented. And your “else:” statement needs to be aligned with the “if” statement. I can fix your code for you if you’d like.

the way i edited your code is how you properly code if statements. you also had incorrect indentation. The "tab" button is your best friend when indenting.

That is because every choice you have is adding +1 to the variable, thus sending you to the good ending. If you want to descrease the number, do -= 1 instead.

Also, I noticed that (after the menu, and above the endings), you set the variable to 0. Since 0 is less than 2, it will automatically send you to the label that it checks for in the if statement.

But yeah, try the tip I gave with -= and += Your if statement checks for if the variable is less than or equal to a specific number. If it is, then it takes you to a certain ending. If it is greater than the certain number, it takes you to the other ending.

Uh, no. Those are just methods of the class. The docs I linked are the official Python documentation, and state that parentheses are only required if you are inheriting from another class.
