need help creating visuals (such as a starting screen) for my RPG battle system prototype

I've tried using several different things such as Tinker, objectLIB, and turtle, but none have them worked please help.

I use python BTW

Are you using microstudios? Because the microstudio API should have everything you need.

yes

you can refer to this example, though it is not in python.

something in python might look like this:

def init():
    global playing 
    playing = False # usually you would use a string value to define playing like playing = "game" for more specific modes.

def update():
    global playing 
    if mouse.press:  
        playing = not playing # flips current value of playing

def draw():
    screen.clear()
    if playing:
        draw_game() # draws the game if playing is true
    else:
        draw_start() # draws the start screen if playing is false

def draw_start():
    screen.drawText("Start", 0, 0, 25, "#fff")
    screen.drawText("Click to play", 0, -15, 10, "#fff")

def draw_game():
    screen.drawText("Game", 0, 0, 25, "green")
    screen.drawText("Click to go back", 0, -15, 10, "green")

this should be good, unless of course this isn't what you needed.

this might actually work. thank you:)

here on another account. need some help on a syntax error here is the code

def cap(value, minimum=0, maximum=50): return max(minimum, min(value, maximum))

def multiplayer_mode(): player1_name = input("What will player 1 be called? ").strip() player2_name = input("What will player 2 be called? ").strip()

health1, health2 = 100, 100
tp1, tp2 = 50, 50
score1, score2 = 0, 0

while True:
    # Player 1s turn - loop until a valid move is chosen
    while True:
        option1 = input(f"What would {player1_name} like to do? (attack/magic/rest) ").strip().lower()
        if option1 == "attack":
            health2 = max(health2 - 23, 0)
            break
        elif option1 == "magic":
            if tp1 >= 32:
                health2 = max(health2 - 43, 0)
                tp1 -= 32
                break
            else:
                print("Not enough TP for magic!")
        elif option1 == "rest":
            tp1 = cap(tp1 + 10)
            break
        else:
            print(f"Invalid option for {player1_name}! Please choose again.")

    print(f"{player1_name}: TP={tp1}, Health={health1}")
    print(f"{player2_name}: TP={tp2}, Health={health2}")

    if health2 <= 0:
        print(f"{player1_name} wins!")
        score1 += 1
        break

    # Player 2s turn - same validation loop
    while True:
        option2 = input(f"What would {player2_name} like to do? (attack/magic/rest) ").strip().lower()
        if option2 == "attack":
            health1 = max(health1 - 23, 0)
            break
        elif option2 == "magic":
            if tp2 >= 32:
                health1 = max(health1 - 43, 0)
                tp2 -= 32
                break
            else:
                print("Not enough TP for magic!")
        elif option2 == "rest":
            tp2 = cap(tp2 + 10)
            break
        else:
            print(f"Invalid option for {player2_name}! Please choose again.")

    print(f"{player1_name}: TP={tp1}, Health={health1}")
    print(f"{player2_name}: TP={tp2}, Health={health2}")

    if health1 <= 0:
        print(f"{player2_name} wins!")
        score2 += 1
        break

print(f"Score:\n{player1_name}: {score1}\n{player2_name}: {score2}")
