No idea where to even start

How does one even open it? Is it within CMD? within the internet browser?

To be able to open it, you need to understand how git, python, manim and several other things work. It's cool that you're interested and want to beat your friends on Wordle today but this is not where you start.

Hi! @jyrg02, do you have any previous CS/programming experience?

In order to get started, you will want to do the following:

  1. Install Python if you haven't already.
  2. Go to the Code tab and download a zip of the code. Unzip that zip.
  3. Open a terminal. If you are on Windows, you will need to search for Command Prompt or Powershell, you may want to install Windows Terminal. Otherwise, you can search for Terminal or Terminal Emulator.
  4. Navigate to the folder where the code for Wordle ([code_dest]\_2022\wordle\) is. On windows, you can go to File in the File Browser and select Open Windows Powershell. image
  5. Run pip install manimgl.
  6. Add the following to scenes.py and simulations.py.
import sys
sys.path.append(".")
sys.path.append("..")
  1. Run python simulations.py.
  2. Run manimgl scenes.py
