Freeform Bar for Ren'Py
A downloadable tool
In Ren'Py, the default implementation of the bar displayable renders it as a horizontal or vertical rectangle. But what if you were able to give it an arbitrary shape? Turn it into a circle? Let it coil like a snake? Turn it into a depth picker? This shader-based tool allows all that, and much more!
Comes as either a standalone file or as a demo.

Install instructions
Both files are designed to be inserted into Ren'Py projects.
To enable the features added by this tool, simply copy the standalone version into the game folder of your game.
If you want to run the demo, download the demo zip file and extract its contents into the game folder, make sure that the demo's version of the 00freeform_bar.rpy and the freeform_bar_demo folder are in the game folder. Then, launch the game, enter the console (Shift+O) and run jump ff_bar_demo_screen.
Documentation and license info are included in both instances of 00freeform_bar.rpy.
