When I click to join, it won’t let me in. What do I do? I wanna play!

IOS does not support Python natively. Additionally, many paths are hard-coded based on windows paths, so downloading a python interpreter app wouldn't be sufficient.

I would strongly recommend running this on a windows machine. If you don't have a windows machine, you might be able to get an app called UTM SE working on your Apple device, I'm not sure if the emulated versions of windows are recent enough, but they should be sufficient in theory.

There will hopefully be a PR merge soon that will make it work for Linux and MacOS too, if you're having trouble with IOS still by then, you may be able to get away with a Python interpreter application.

Okay, but this is the only device that is quote in quote “mine”. I’m using my browser, Safari since the GutHub app does not work. Can I translate it into a code language it does accept/understand?

While technically not impossible, it's not feasible unless you have technical knowledge of both languages.

If you're feeling adventurous and want to see if you can figure it out, you'll need to translate the code into HTML/JavaScript.

Even if you can't figure it out, you might learn a thing or two, so if you're interested feel free to try! Just prepare to hit a brick wall pretty quickly without lots of research 😅

Tools like Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro are available for free and should be able to do this task for you for the most part, but you'll still need the technical knowledge to fix mistakes it makes, so I'd recommend trying it yourself first, and then see what you can get the AI to do.

You might want to search for an "online Web development IDE" to write your code in.

If you decide to give it a go, I wish you luck!
