can i also ask questions about game dev in this chat, or is this chat mostly meant for non game-dev related general discussion? asking because i have a few questions, but they're very short so i don't really want to make a question for each one

@Suic You can ask questions. Sometimes you might even get an answer. And on rare occasions you might get an answer that is not a joke, but not from me 🤡
I played around with RenPy. It has been different than I thought it would have. Mostly there has been no Python involved which I didn't expect and which made looking into Python's type annotations pointless.
It uses its own language which is ... bad. It's one of those languages that tries to appeal to writers, trying to look like English mostly and avoiding syntax symbols, but not succeeding very well. Also I don't understand why it sometimes finds resources and sometimes doesn't. It appears that it is fine with spaces in file names, but then breaks when you capitalize anything which doesn't make any sense.
But I did manage to get some dialog with pictures, sound effects and music going, so overall it should count as a success.
The inability to make art hasn't bitten me as much as I thought it would. Placeholder art from the internet, sometimes with a blur effect added on, was good enough for a proof of concept.

@DMGregory Thanks for catching that error in my geometry logic! As it turns out, I think I found a better way to approach the problem & have edited accordingly.

Nice work! Yeah, I only spotted it because I made the same oversight in my first attempt at the problem.
Great answer!
