So I've been mastering if/else statements - including those that involve multiple else-if variables. I've also taught myself how to incrementally increase numerical variables and single-condition else-if statements (I haven't yet tried multiple-condition else-if statements).
And then, when writing a scene tonight, I hit a snag. When I resize an image that's too big in Paint, it loses transparency upon saving, resulting in a white background when I insert the image, like so:
So I went online and found a transparency converter to remove the background. I'm sure some of you will already anticipate what happened, but for those who can't, or who just want to see the disastrous results:
....Yeah. White-haired character with making white background transparent = he now has transparent hair.
So need to go back to the drawing board for that, and probably need to do some yet more re-sizing and positioning.
But at least progress is being made!
