Current PR Changes as of 10/3 (Copilot Summary):

This pull request introduces several improvements and refactors across the codebase, with a focus on enhancing platform-specific BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) emulation, refactoring script logic for scene selection and appeal tracking, and cleaning up unused or outdated files. The most significant changes include a comprehensive overhaul of the BSOD emulation logic for better accuracy and maintainability, major refactoring of how exclusive scenes and appeal values are handled in the script files, and the removal of the unused pronoun feature.

Platform-specific BSOD improvements:

• Refactored the BSOD emulation in bsod.rpy to more accurately detect and display Windows, macOS, and Linux kernel panic screens, including new logic for macOS Big Sur and above, and improved transitions for different platforms. Styles and transitions were split for Windows and general platforms, and new style definitions were added for macOS and OS X. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Script logic refactors:

• Replaced direct manipulation of character appeal and scene selection logic in the script files (e.g., script-ch0.rpy, script-ch1.rpy, script-ch2.rpy, script-ch21.rpy, script-ch22.rpy, script-ch23.rpy) with new helper functions like get_exclusive_scene and get_appeal, and centralized the use of the poemappeal dictionary for tracking appeal values. This makes the code more maintainable and less error-prone. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
