Ren'Py Coding: Sound, Menus, and Effects

This document provides examples of how to: 1) Show images, characters, and transitions between scenes in Ren'Py. It demonstrates using show, hide, and transforms. 2) Play music and sounds at different points in the story. It shows playing, fading, queuing, and stopping audio. 3) Create choices and menus that allow the player to direct the story. Variable usage remembers the player's choices. 4) Interpolate variables, take user input, and change text styles. It also defines characters and transforms images. 5) Add effects like flashing, shaking the screen horizontally and vertically, and adjusting text speed.
