Can you convert ren'py games to html5?

[Jim.Satyr]

If yes how can you do it?

 

[Palanto]

There were some projects around trying to achieve a conversion. But none that worked for me so far So either do it manually yourself... or write a transpilation from renpy+python -> html, css, javaScript

So it is possible? could there be a logarithm made that converts/makes ren'py games into html games?

 

[Palanto]

Maybe it could, I don't know. Just looked it up some days ago to see what is possible and what isn't... All projects I found were either abandoned or not working in any way :-\

It's definitely possible, but there is no automatic converter.

If you have the Ren'py game source, images, and sound files, then if you know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript you should be able to convert it into

uses a syntax very similar to that used in Ren'py. Depending on the project, it is quite simple to manually convert:

...

let script = {
"English":{
    "Start": [
        "notify Welcome",
        {
            "Input": {
                "Text": "What is your name?",
                "Validation": function (input) {
                    return input.trim().length > 0;
                },
                "Save": function (input) {
                    storage.player.Name = input;
                    return true;
                },
                "Warning": "You must enter a name!"
            }
        },

        "h Hi {{player.Name}} Welcome to Monogatari!",

        {
            "Choice": {
                "Dialog": "h Have you already read some documentation?",
                "Yes": {
                    "Text": "Yes",
                    "Do": "jump Yes"
                },
                "No": {
                    "Text": "No",
                    "Do": "jump No"
                }
            }
        }
    ],

    "Yes": [

        "h That's awesome!",
        "h Then you are ready to go ahead and create an amazing Game!",
        "h I can't wait to see what story you'll tell!",
        "end"
    ],

    "No": [

        "h You can do it now.",

        "display message Help",

        "h Go ahead and create an amazing Game!",
        "h I can't wait to see what story you'll tell!",
        "end"
    ]
  }
};

It's been a while since I have not looked at what could be done in html etc ... But it seems to me that the save part will pose problem.

Apart from that, in theory, I do not see what could be a problem. In practice against ...

The worst being that there are a lot of games that are coded by taking liberties or with obsolete syntaxes etc ...

For a game type VN (image, text, choice) it's fine. But as soon as there is something extra ...

For a sandbox or rpg etc ... Forget. Not that it is especially complex (though ...) but mostly because I doubt to find two sandbox or RPG game style coded the same way.

It's defiantly doable - checkout -

This particular project seems to have attracted PyTom's attention, so with some time it might become "official." Until then, however, there isn't an "official" way to do this.

OMFG !!!!!!!! He let the console enabled...

Whatever you do, if you put something like a Ren'py game playable online like this, do NOT let the console enabled. If the tools you use behind don't strongly enforce disk operation, it's breach in your security ; one that can goes from small to enormous, depending of the actual state of the server you use.

The HTML game development tool I mentioned above (Twine/SugarCube) has saving built-in (along with a bunch of other features), so that should make saving a lot easier.
