Before we can describe the Ren'Py language, we must first describe the structure of a Ren'Py script. This includes how a files are broken into blocks made up of lines, and how those lines are broken into the elements that make up statements.

8.

The base directory is the directory that contains all files that are distributed with the game. (It may also contain some files that are not distributed with the game.) Things like README files should be placed in the base directory, from where they will be distributed.

9.

The base directory is created underneath the Ren'Py directory, and has the name of your game. For example, if your Ren'Py directory is named renpy-6.11.2, and your game is named "HelloWorld", your base directory will be renpy-6.11.2/HelloWorld.

16.

The launcher will only properly recognize the "game" and "data" directories, however.

17.

The game directory contains all the files used by the game. It, including all subdirectories, is scanned for .rpy and .rpyc files, and those are combined to form the game script. It is scanned for .rpa archive files, and those are automatically used by the game. Finally, when the game gives a path to a file to load, it is loaded relative to the game directory. (But note that config.searchpath can change this.)

Logical Lines

22.

A script file is broken up into :dfn:`logical lines`. A logical line always begins at the start of a line in the file. A logical line ends at the end of a line, unless:

23.

The last character on the line is a backslash ('\\').

24.

The line contains an open parenthesis character ('(', '{', or '['), that hasn't been matched by the cooresponding close parenthesis character (')', '}', or ']', respectively).

25.

The end of the line occurs during a string.
