Basics: Ren'py Tutorial - Player Name Change, Password and Random Words
37In this tutorial we will have to major parts. First thing we start off with is how to have the player change their character's name. I just give the coding so if you want it to look fancy that is something else. This will just go over the basics, which is the coding itself. I go over how to have other characters use that name and how to have that character talk as well.
Using something very similar to the name change I have rigged up a password protection thing, allowing people to put passwords within their game to let people play it, this could also be used to unlock a special scene or whatever you want. (While I came up with this on my own without any outside help past learning to do the name thing, this is something anyone could figure out if they wanted to and had some knowledge of Ren'py so I wont claim it as my own thing. There may be other ways but I found this way to work and is good enough for what I have used it for.)
Last thing we will talk about in this video is to add a randomly chosen word. (Or sentence or anything like that. This doesn't have to be just one word. Just keep everything you want for that option to be between the ' ' and it will have the chance of being picked.) It is super simple though rarely used from games I have seen. But you never know when it could come in handy and you may find use for it.
