Running and Installation

First clone the git repository: git clone git@github.com:Samleo8/112AnimalRacers.git

Then install all requirements by running the command pip install -r requirements.txt. The crucial library used for this game is the Panda3D Engine.

Then, from within the main/root repository folder, run the game with python Game.py. Note that only Python 3 is supported.
