Having trouble opening the simulator

[Silly-Person48]

Everytime I open the file it asks me "how many creatures do you want?" I put how many I want, and then it just closes and nothing happens ( I have installed all of the requirements)

Same thing happens to me!!

i was trying it earlier today and it states "jes_ui.py", line 16, in init pygame.font.init() ^^^^^^ NameError: name 'pygame' is not defined"

NameError: name 'pygame' is not defined"

pip install -r requirements.txt

If does not work, try pip install pygame and pip install numpy

Also might be the font issue for the original question https://github.com/carykh/jes/issues/47#issuecomment-3101055010

It can't find the background image file, there can be many reasons for that. Make sure that you have all the files downloaded and extracted from the archive.

Then, you should run the script from the root directory of the repo (from the same folder the python script in), easiest way to do this is to type cmd in your file explorer path Currently it seems that you are running cmd from your user directory, although it's hard to say for sure based on screenshot like that
