Ren'py error: ‘>’ not supported between instances of ‘str’ and ‘int’
me: my visual novel does not have those RPG stats what are you talking about. what the absolute fuck. and if it did have them why would i not be allowed t
me: OH MY GOD STRING AND INTEGER
Oh my gosh I can totally see how someone could have that misunderstanding if their first experience programming is with games, dang!
Good job pushing through and figuring it out!
LOL thank u... i knew it must have been referring to something else since ren'py's engine doesn't have a stat system or anything by default, but putting two and two together was something of a miracle
hang in there :)
I look forward to more anecdotes, it's really insightful for me to see how non-programmers engage with tools like this. it gives me more stuff to consider when writing tutorials and documentation and stuff like that. This confusion wouldn't have crossed my mind, but I think it's an extremely legitimate one!
LOL i'm glad they're good for something besides giggles. honestly, one of the things that's been hardest is like... crashing into jargon/shorthand walls, especially in error messages. i knew from the jump that str and int must have referred to something else since the ren'py engine doesn't have stat systems built-in. it seems weird to abbreviate things in a place where clarity is so important.
i assume that's what happens to my desk when my computer finally explodes
I still have moments like this regularly and I've been doing this as a job for 17 years
