Remind Windows users to include the py launcher (#134)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It is typical to install python with the launcher on Windows, but those
of us who don't have it will encounter a pitfall with the build checker.

If not included, 'py -3' fails on win32 platforms when various build
scripts are used.

First you're gonna need some software:

* [Git](https://git-scm.com/) or one of the [many](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/) [third-party](http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/) [UIs](https://tortoisegit.org/) that make it easier to use. Make sure to let it install to your PATH like [this](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/560845886263918612/861267188971470898/unknown.png).
* [Python 3.7 or higher](https://www.python.org/). Make sure to install it into your [PATH on Windows](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/560845886263918612/1147634791148179457/image.png). You should get python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/). Versions installed from the windows store sometimes cause build issues.

Also make sure the 'py launcher' option is enabled when installing on Windows. You should get python from [python.org](https://www.python.org/). Versions installed from the windows store sometimes cause build issues.
* [.NET 8.0 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0). Visual Studio also installs this if you're on Windows.
* ARM (M1) Mac users: You need to make sure to install x64 .NET, **not** ARM .NET. The engine does not currently run natively on Mac ARM so using x64 via Rosetta 2 emulation is recommended.
* Preferably an IDE to make development not painful (all free options unless otherwise noted):
