Getting Started

Installation

When using Ren'Py 6.99.14.2 or higher, go to preferences and select Atom as your text editor.

With Atom already installed, open the Settings tab: File>Settings (or with Ctrl+,)

Click in + Install and search for renpy then click in Install button of the package language-renpy.

It's also possible installing using the cli command apm (atom package manager):

apm install language-renpy

Usage

Open a .rpy file or create a new one and test the syntax highlighting of the Ren'Py. You can also use the example file available on the package repository.

Snippets:

Snippets are pieces of code like in the following example.

The usage is done with keywords followed by a Tab to insert the snippet.

For example, there's a snippet with useful links, type dochelp and press Tab or Enter.

You can check the snippets list while editing a .rpy file, just open the Command Palette (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+P) and search for Snippets: Available or go to the package settings (Settings>Packages>language-renpy>Snippets).

Snippets are added by need, so suggestions are welcome.
