Hey, Sylestia!

I'm looking for advice and help on two things:

These coding-game-thing commissions (almost-kinda-sorta)

and

My OPP writing piece and characters for speech.

You can find all the info in the links!

For the OPP thing, I'm willing to pay gold or give you items/pets if you give me some character and writing help <3

Thank you!

Helloo, I'd really love to help with the OPP (dunno what that stands for, hopefully that's okay xD), the idea sounds really cool, if you'll have me :D

Thanks lol, too bad it has no convenient nickname x'D
Does Discord work instead? It's the most easily accessible/convenient for me. If not, I can PM you here.

Hello~

I noticed you're doing a project in python, and you mentioned that it can't support graphics. In fact, python can support graphics, especially if you create some sort of GUI. There are many libraries you can use; I've dabbled with PyQt and a little bit of Tkinter, but there's definitely more. A word of caution, though. GUIs are hard to make (at least for me). It took me hours to create a sort of scrolling window + tables layout for my project, but maybe it was because of my inexperience. Anyway, always read documentation and stack overflow is your best friend.

I also see that you're using replit. I'm not sure if replit can actually draw GUIs because I believe the code is hosted and runs on the replit servers, so an alternative you can do is actually create a webserver and make a webpage with buttons and images with html/css. You can design your "browser-based" game from there, and at least most crudely you can just have a bunch of images that toggle between display: none and display: anything else.

Edit: If you're adamant on using the command line to play your game but you still want graphics, you could work with ASCII art. Python has a library for handling images - PIL (pillow, python image library, whatever you want to call it) which you can use to break down an image into pixels. Greyscale your picture, grab each pixel, and convert it into whatever ASCII character you have the corresponds to that level of brightness, then print out that character. The issue with this would probably be size, because you can never tell what size your user's terminal will be when they run your code.

Oh my - that's a lot, I'm still very new to coding and am very bad at this project-Python thing by itself. :')

Thank you for all the help - I actually have no idea what the terms GUI or ASCII or PIL or PyQt/Tkinter mean, I'm just struggling right now and probably won't do graphics as it sounds quite arduous and honestly, I don't have much time on my hands anymore because of in-person school.

Thank you so much for the help though!

PIL, PyQt, and Tkinter are libraries that you can import - essentially packages that contain a lot of methods and other stuff that greatly help your programming. Basically, they save you a lot of time so you don't have to code a bunch of stuff yourself. Have you used libraries before? One of the really common libraries that beginners use is 'math' or 'random', you could take a look at those.

GUI - graphical user interface
ASCII - it has a longer name but it's kind of irrelevant, just think of it as any character symbol. 'i' is ASCII, '*' is ASCII, etc.

If you have questions about python or programming, I'm more than willing to help, you can shoot me a message.

Edit: I messed up ASCII and Unicode, my bad. Allow me to clarify: ASCII is still characters, but it's limited to a specific few (instead of any character) - 128 if I remember correctly, which contains lowercase and capital letters, numbers, and some punctuation symbols.
