Setting up a virtual environment is recommended to avoid dependency conflicts. Picodulce relies on the path of the picomc project, and using a virtual environment helps prevent errors.
Create the virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
- Linux/Mac:
source venv/bin/activate - Windows:
.\\venv\\Scripts\\activate
Now on the venv you can install the requirements safely
pip install -r requirements.txt
On the venv run it as a normal python script
python picodulce.py
Just make sure you have Java installed for running the actual game
The name "Picodulce" comes from a popular Argentinian candy. This reflects the enjoyable and user-friendly experience that the launcher aims to provide, making game management straightforward and pleasant.
