I can manually run the Playground and everything compiles, but If I just try to use the "Play" button, it is greyed out. I have tried opening new playgrounds and copying and pasting the code with the same results. Everything worked fine up until adding the "Candidates" code from this video. If I try to delete the new code, the playground still doesn't work properly.
