Demotools - Ren'Py Extension

This is a tool used to generate live demos or demo snapshots to generate gifs.

Move to the game's root directory in the command line and run the `demotools` command with the renpy executable available in your renpy installation:

# Run a specific label and stop
renpy/renpy.sh . demotools call=my_demo_label
# Run a specific label and loop
renpy/renpy.sh . demotools call=my_demo_label loop
# Run a specific label and create render snapshots
renpy/renpy.sh . demotools --render call=my_demo_label
