#renovel — Public Fediverse posts

It turns out that there are other software packages named #renovel, which could make it hard to find the #renpy fork I'm making by that name. So I'm open to suggestions for what else I might call it. "Pyren" is taken, too...

#renovel requires #python version 3.12 or later, because that is what #Lisien requires. I can use the improvements in type annotation and the standard library to clean up the code...probably redoing work that's been done in #renpy mainline, but that's what I signed up for

That was anticlimactic. #renovel now launches, and its menus are functional. If anyone wants to give it a whirl to make sure all the important stuff still works in Python 3.14, here's the code https://codeberg.org/clayote/renovel

I gave up on bundling the .rpy files inside the #renovel module, for the time being; now, I've got it launching to a main menu that seems to work, but doesn't have any images in it.

Inching to a usable #renovel build. This version of renpy did a weird thing where it'd install as a Python module, but the pure Python part wouldn't be -- it'd run from the directory you unzipped it to. New Python versions don't like that, so I'm making it install everything module-like, and this has knock-on effects for how it loads common scripts in the Ren'py language. So I have to learn that language's loader code backwards and fowards
