You've reached a page on the Ren'Py wiki. Due to massive spam, the wiki hasn't been updated in over 5 years, and much of the information here is very out of date. We've kept it because some of it is of historic interest, but all the information relevant to modern versions of Ren'Py has been moved elsewhere.
Some places to look are:

You can already use the default vpunch and hpunch transitions to shake the screen. But what about a shake that goes in every directions randomly, Phoenix Wright style?

self.start = [ self.anchors.get(i, i) for i in start ] # central position
