i'm a relatively new programer (i've only done this for a year) so im happy to take any criticism and i understand that i might have done something stupid and its most likely my fault. good luck i guess.

Update: doesn't work in 3.8

[Aryankpoor]

It is working in 3.8.6 and 3.9 for me
specs: windows 10 and vscode - version 1.47
There is no error showing like that for me, the game is working just fine

[Aryankpoor]

Btw I also checked it on repl.it and it works there also just fine,

[ostap-tymchenko]

well im windows 10 vs code and python 3.8.6 but that wasn't the problem. i was running it from a folder and it was trying to pull from the base there instead of the file for this. the repl link works but its very slow so im looking to run it locally.

[ostap-tymchenko]

the new issue im having is the same as here (none of the solutions work for me) im trying other things and looking for more sources but any help is apreciated.

[ostap-tymchenko]

fixed it, use command pip install neat-python==0.9 (windows cmd)

Yeah in repl.it the game was very-very slow

[ostap-tymchenko]

by the way how do you get the output of this to be in a terminal? like the gen statistics?

[Aryankpoor]

That is not the terminal , that is reply.it, and btw just for info I do not use terminal, I run it in interactive python when I use vscode, it is better that way you know

[ostap-tymchenko]

like jupiter notebook? i guess for testing but not writing.
