Hello! I'm in the same boat as you. My first project sounds rather similar to what you're planning on doing. While I'm really interested in what more experienced creators would recommend, here's what I can tell you: - I believe it can be done in Ren'py, but it's going to be significantly more complicated than the VN ...

I'm no expert and I don't know what your code looks like, but have you tried adding xpos and ypos next to "add FileScreenshot(slot)" in screens.rpy? That's what I did to my project and although it took a lot of trial and error to find the right coordinates (I'm sure there's a better way to do it), it worked!

Wouldn't recommend it. The problem is that you may use the sound channel to play sounds during the game. If you went into your screen and clicked on a button, it would stop that sound.

For the second method, you might also want to define numerals and textuals with the default code. default numerals = 0 default textuals = None - not sure if “None” is the best approach for this variable since it is used to display text though.

So is just typing label chapters(numerals, textuals) considered defining those two variables? Because as you know, if you don’t define them in some way, Ren’Py won’t know what they represent, what they mean, or what they are referring to. Thus, leading to an unexpected error (from the program getting confused).

they don't need to be defined like normal variables, renpy will just use them without getting confuzzled. when you use them, they are referred to as the variables in the label statement that sort of defines them for use in this instance, and they can only be used in that label try to use them outside the label and brr...

Well, it sounds like the () is the only thing defining those variables.

Is it used as an integer, True/False, or has Non...

readable dialogue and scripts would be in rpy files. this is the version you can edit/read (unlike rpyc files, the compiled version) assuming it's someone else's game, they likely just included the rpyc files, or rpa (archive, kind of like zip files) in this case you could look [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/RenPy/w...

Whatever is after `action` is *immediately evaluated* (before the screen is shown) to see what the action is.
