I am doing the "Coding Your First HTML5 Game" workshop and I am stuck at the point where we are supposed to create an html, css, and javascript "starter" files using lime. js.
This is what I have done:
- downloaded lime.js zip packet and unzipped it. The unzipped folder is entitled "limejs-master" with a "bin" and "lime" folder inside along with other files like "readme".
- I then downloaded Python. The unzipped "Python" folder is sitting in the same area on my harddrive as the "lime-js master" folder. In this Python folder, there are other folders "DLLs" "doc" "include", and other folders I am very unfamiliar with.
- in the command prompt I am typing "....python limejs-master/bin/lime.py create myGame", which should, if I understand correctly, create a folder with this name at the same location my Python and Lime.js folder are located, What happens is another window appears and disappears for a half second -- not even enough to read what is saying. In fact, almost all of the commands I am writing in the command prompt result in a window appearing and disappearing within a second....
- I then use Window Explorer to look for the myGame folder and can find nothing....
If someone could lend me hand, I would appreciate it!
