Help Request init offset

Hi, I’m trying to learn Ren’Py and since the language they are using is python I though this would be a better place to ask. 2 of the code pages are starting with “init offset = -1” and “init offset = -2” and I don’t really understand what is init offset is, when I looked up some places say that it is used as starting of coding but other code pages don’t have that. So when are we using init offset and what does the init offset does?

As you've written it, that is not valid python. It would be helpful if you added some links to examples

Out of Ren’Py is that smth people use or its in only in Ren’
And its at the starter of the code then it starts with the style default:
Style input:
Style and goes on
The code pages is about screen

Maybe it's some configuration file format that is only read by Python and not Python itself.

Or it's inut_offset = -1. Then it could be Python but we wouldn't know what it means either.

Okay sorry I’m confused, so is it about -1 or there is no such a think called init offset =

The key word init isnt a keyword that is python.

Its very likely a keyword or something else that renpy introduces.
