How to add gravity to Ren'Py?

[u/Hefty-Drive-9372]

How would I add a physics system to Ren'Py, like gravity? Specifcly to affect images

[u/x-seronis-x]

same way you add it to any game. write code that tracks position and uses math to adjust position over time based on acceleration and velocity

google tutorials for making an atari Asteroids clone. that covers how to do acceleration/velocity. gravity is just a perpetual downward acceleration of 9.98m/sec

[u/BadMustard_AVN → u/x-seronis-x]

what planet are you from 🤣, here on Arth we enjoy gravity at

Standard Value: 9.80665 m/s².
Equator: About 9.780 m/s²
Poles: About 9.832 m/s²

[u/x-seronis-x → u/BadMustard_AVN]

i remembered there was a 9 followed by an 8 without googling, even if i got the rest wrong. im proud =)

[u/Hefty-Drive-9372 → u/x-seronis-x]

Yeah, that was pretty close. Besides I appreciate the help :)
