Requirements

SimpleGUI

To use simpleGUI in pycharm or other idle:

• Open the command prompt
• Enter and run the following:
  • python -m pip install --upgrade pip
  • pip install pygame
  • pip install SimpleGUICS2Pygame
  • pip install PyAutoGUI

To use tkinter, which I think is need but not 100% certain, I now have a copy of it on a memory stick and can give it to those who need it. It should come standard with python 3 onwards, to check it is there navigate to C:\Users\Adam Plaskitt\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Lib for windows users, and check that a file called tkinter exists. As stated above I have copied this file to a memory stick and can give it to anyone who needs it.

pygame is installed as a prerequisite for SimpleGUICS2Pygame, and for the use of pygame.mouse.get_pos(), to get the position of the mouse.

These install both PyAutoGUI (a mouse and keyboard handler) and SimpleGUICS2Pygame (a simplegui emulator package)

When using SimpleGUICS2Pygame (simplegui) you want to import it as:

try:
    import simplegui
except ImportError:
    import SimpleGUICS2Pygame.simpleguics2pygame as simplegui

gspread

To install use cmd to run:

• pip install gspread
• pip install --upgrade oauth2client

gspread is used to access a google spreadsheet, in google drive. This spreadsheet is the data for the scoreboard. The google account is:

username: pixel.game.database@gmail.com

password: Pa$$w0rd12345

gspread is used to provide access to the online scoreboard, if this is inaccessible due to any reason (eg. gspread isn't install properly or there is a connection issue) a local scoreboard will be used instead.
