development guide

this is how you set up the code to run it from source, rather than a bundled pyinstaller executable

download python from here specifically (3.9.1 should work). do not download from windows store. that version is really janky and doesn't work that well for more complex python programs with lots of dependencies

install requirements with python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

start program with python3 main.py

build command: pyinstaller main.py --noconsole --onefile --clean --hidden-import glcontext
