To make it easy on everyone, we've made a ZIP file containing a ready-to-run version for Windows. Just unzip this zip file somewhere and run the "main.exe" you'll find inside. You can download the ZIP file here:

https://github.com/larryhastings/pyweek24/releases

If you prefer to do the install manually, using an unmodified "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2.zip", here are the steps you'll have to follow:

1. If you haven't already, install Python 3.6.3 for Windows (32-bit), making sure to put Python on your PATH.
   
2.  Download the zip file for "My Sincere Apologies" and extract it to a new directory. I'll assume you name that new directory "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2".
   
3. Download and run the AVBin 32-bit Windows installer from here: http://avbin.github.io/AVbin/Download.html
   
4. Manually copy the file C:\Windows\System32\avbin.dll into the "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2/src" subdirectory inside the "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2" directory (where you extracted the game to in step 1).
   
5. Download and install GLEW for Windows: https://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/2.1.0/glew-2.1.0-win32.zip/download
   
6. Open that zip file, and copy "glew-2.1.0/bin/Release/Win32/glew32.dll" into the "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2/src" subdirectory inside the "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2" directory (where you extracted the game to in step 1).
   
7. Download the AppVeyor-built lepton wheel: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/god4mlfk5y42se8q/artifacts/dist%2Flepton-1.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl
   
8. Install the lepton wheel by running "python -m pip install lepton-1.0-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl" in the same directory you downloaded the wheel to.
   
9. Download the AppVeyor-built lepton wheel: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/52tjrnjug61lo41d/artifacts/dist%2Flightvolume-0.1.3-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl
   
10. Install the lepton wheel by running "python -m pip install lightvolume-0.1.3-cp36-cp36m-win32.whl" in the same directory you downloaded the wheel to.
    
11. Install the other packages you'll need, by running this command: "python -m pip install pyglet pymunk six tmx"
    
12. Finally! Run the game by running by going to your "my-sincerest-apologies-1.0.2" directory and running "python run_game.py". Or, I think double-clicking on "run_game.py" will work.
    

We hope you have fun playing "My Sincerest Apologies"!
