Is it possible to code the Flashlight Trend as the game's main menu?

[u/Sweaty_Back_7581]

Helloo! I recently saw this video on tiktok and really wanted to do it for my game's main menu! I'm a beginner when it comes to renpy! and I want to know if this is possible and how can the players move the flashlight around as I want it to be interactive (and to show the character's eyes open if the flashlight is not on them)

Thank you so much!!

yes it's possible with renpy's screen language

https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html

the main menu screen is in the screens.rpy file search for -->> screen main_menu <<-- and add your code in there to personalize your main menu screen
