character.rpy

# the module contains a character constructor, 
# which iterates over all the characters from the list, 
# fastens their heads from the list of emotions 
# and creates the character itself 
# in the images folder there should be a side folder 
# in it subfolders with the names of the characters to store their emotions 
# and also in the images folder should contain body files with character names, 
# but without goals

# to use the module you just need to fill out the list 
# chars with tuples from the name of the sprite, the name of the character and the color of the name 
# ("dane", _ (u "Dane Thorson"), "#fff")
