Hey! Hope you are fine and well. :)
I wanted to know if it is possible to achieve two things with that code, and where I have to look in order to succeed (with my current level of Python, who is high enough to understand some internal logic, but too low to actually code seriously):
1. Make the phone appear from the quick menu (or by some separate textbox on top of the screen), with something to indicate the end user that there are new messages (no need to show how much).
2. Separate the phone from the story. The VN goes normally, I have messages, I can consult them later and answer without interrupting the normal flow.
For context: I intend to make something that look like a program, with a messenger on side that can appear on command, where the MC speak with its coworkers while doing his job.
I have an idea (I hope) how to modify the code in order to make it look like what I want (especially since this phone is pretty big to begin with). But after reading script.rpy and screen.rpy carefully, I don't know how to solve my two main issues.
Yes, this : https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=19295
will be more appropriate, but after an entire week, I don't even understand how to make it start without running into fatal error after fatal error!
I feel it will be easier to simply modify that framework into a very (very) basic messenger, than the other way.
