Persistent Data¶

If your Encyclopaedia is global, the state of each EncEntry can be saved using Ren’Py’s persistent data system.

You must set the viewed_persistent and locked_persistent arguments to True to be able to save the entry’s status.

Example:

your_new_encyclopaedia = Encyclopaedia()

about_zeus = EncEntry(
    parent=your_new_encyclopaedia,
    name="Zeus",
    text=[
        "Zeus is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who ruled as king of the gods of Mount Olympus."
        " His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman equivalent Jupiter."
        " His mythologies and powers are similar, though not identical, to those of Indo-European deities such as Indra, Jupiter, Perun, Thor, and Odin."
    ],
    viewed_persistent=True,
    locked_persistent=True,
)
