hell yeah it's time to do super weird things to ren'py, one of my favorite pastimes
it's kind of an adventure because it combines "pretty solid advanced docs and readable source code" with "most google results are someone asking a 101 question and getting dubious answers"
for example: i want to hide every visible character, temporarily, in such a way that i can restore them all simultaneously later. this seems extremely doable. a cursory internet search finds people trying to hide a single character which is literally a keyword in renpy
we have reached the stage in this process wherein i go searching for a problem and find a github issue i filed three years ago that's already fixed
me, writing python for the first time in a very long time: it's dict.pairs() right. that sounds right. why doesn't that work. i think renpy is still python 2, does that mean i need dict.ipairs()?
how... do i pass time... from a screen...
wow i did it, i accomplished the thing i wanted, this game is starting to exist a tiny bit
i can't show you because my placeholder art is so bad it will give you a worse impression of the game than if you knew literally nothing about it at all

"actually c is fine if you just never make any mistakes" Actually chris the developers of the god damn linux kernel are not even this superhuman so i seriously doubt you are
but also to be clear, deliberately trying to sneak vulnerabilities into someone else's software without their knowledge is pretty fucked up, what
