replace "workaround" batch files with pyw

Open Gapva opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

why use batch for this, anyway?

to kill the background terminal interface (hence the @echo off)

why change it?

  • batch files are not cross-platform
  • the internal call it uses to run python is very specific and varies depending on installations

no, but like, why change it? this repository hasn't gotten a commit in years!

i love gd cologne

the solution

every installation of python comes bundled with a way to accomplish the same thing, out of the box: simply renaming your .py file to .pyw (short for "python window"). this ensures that the output is hidden and no terminal instance is created in parallel with the window process

i recently got back into VVVVVV via 3DS homebrew/CFW and found this repository. it piqued my interest so i'll probably be contributing to this pretty often despite its lack of activity in recent years. this is more of a "dummy commit" to prepare my fork for the massive influx of other QoL improvements, bugfixes, features, etc.
