System

The following functions and variables are defined in the phone.system namespace.

def get_battery_level()

Returns the battery level. If the variable battery_level is None, the value is taken from the player's device.

def get_internet_connection_state()

Returns the state of the internet connection, represented by the following constants:

• CONNECTED wifi is on and connected to the internet
• NO_INTERNET wifi is on but no internet connection
• NOT_CONNECTED wifi is off
• AIRPLANE_MODE airplane mode is on
• CELLULAR_DATA wifi is off and cellular data is on

def get_date()

Returns the date. If the variable date is None, the date used is datetime.datetime.now().

date = None

If not None, a datetime.datetime object.

battery_level = None

If not None, an integer.

wifi = None

If not None, a boolean.

locked = False

If true, some Actions (notably in the status bar screen) won't do anything, preventing the player from changing variables when they're not supposed to.

at_list = []

A transform or list of transforms applied to the phone screen (overlay screens excluded). Set back to [] when exiting the phone.

cellular_data = False

Is cellular data on?

airplane_mode = False

Is airplane mode on?

bluetooth = False

Is bluetooth on?

internet_connection = True

This can be turned on/off for more a realistic gameplay (say the main character is in a very rural place, they won't have access to the internet).

Other variables (flashlight, rotation_locked, dark_mode) currently don't have any use and should not be used by creators.
