It's kind of a big ask to help modify this program for you.

#

Are you comfortable running the program?

#

It's like a lot of effort.

#

That's all I mean.

#

Well, you'd first clone the repo, and make sure you can get it running following the README, and then after that you can simply just modify the code in the folder.

#

no.

#

Why would I do that if I want to edit the code.

#

Just follow the development guide.

you need to run it from the source code if you want to edit it. the steps in the readme stuff linked is pretty clear, try following that first and let us know if you run into issues

Code files get put together into an executable. If you want to change how to program works, you will need to change the code files yourself and then put them together yourself

#

That's what they're trying to say

#

try dabbling with some python first to learn your way around how coding works haha

#

if you’re trying to edit an existing program and have never coded before it’ll be tough

It's like baking lol. If you want to modify a cake, you can't just change it after it's baked, you gotta modify the ingredients or the process before it's baked

#

Depends on what you need to be edited

#

what are you trying to do

#

We don't want to download code that we aren't familiar with or trust. 😦

#

it's also a lot to set up a sandbox

#

I’m not going to be home for about two hours, I can take a better look at that point

#

just try to describe what you want

#

or send screenshots lol

#

yep

#
