| Glad you found a solution. A lot of Python intros are written for Linux. For Windows it looks like creating a Python Virtual Environment with miniconda or anaconda is the way to go.

Not sure if OP is really going to hear what he wants to hear on this thread.

| I liked Rubic's Cube when I was a kid - now I can afford V-Cube which is much smoother and doesn't stick or fly apart as often. Apparently Yo-yos are a thing again now too. |

| I am looking at C# and Unity. It looks like running it on Mono (which can run on Linux) is completely possible. There is also a pathway for compiling it to byte code then compiling that to C++ that can compile to native code on any platform. It also looks like it is primarily a game platform - but i... |

| Mikah You like to be argumentative. If you want me to take your posts seriously you will have to read what I say, not just keep repeating what you want to believe and accusing me of not reading what you say.

| Note - if by nuclear you mean uranium - you have just moved to another fossil fuel. If you mean fusion - the only development there is the multi country project which is mired in red tape. If it succeeded you will have a mini sun. But we already have a sun. And it already works. I found the "Sp... |
