[IN THE WORKS] Ren'Py Claw Machine Mini-game!

Hey everyone, newcomers and old-timers! Hope you're doing alright. 😊

I'm working on a new script which is going to be a claw machine mini-game and thought I'd let you know about it. Right now I'm working on the movement of the claw and such.

The mechanics are pretty straight forward in terms of game-play. You have a claw that moves side to side with arrow keys on the keyboard, then you can press a key on the keyboard to have it try and grab something.

Right now it's planned that it will grab an item at random based on chance/luck/possibility. So basically, the higher the luck is for an item, the more likely it is to be picked up. True to life, most machines I've ever used in my days gave most of nothing, so that's how the example script is setup as well so far, but you'll be able to customize it to your liking as usual. This is setup with Python's random class using the method choices() with weights.

Then I'll setup a basic money system where you have to insert a certain amount of money to play, and spawning of an item if the claw managed to grab something. Haven't gotten that far yet but will work it out soon.

The script will most likely end up in the Voting-tier, but I'll let you know which it ends up with when it's released.

EDIT: It's now released in the Voting-tier.

 I'll be adding a PDF tutorial that explains how the code works as well I think, as it's easier to format the text and code in a way that is more comfortable to read and understand. I did that for the Gallery tutorial as well.

Let me know if this is something you'd like to see. It helps me with feedback like this. 😁

I wish you all a great last week of August and as always, hope your projects are coming along nicely! Are any of you working on any Halloween games maybe? 😊🎃
