Okay, so I’ve been meaning to mess around with Zoff for a while, and I finally decided to give it a shot today with this “dino” thing. It wasn’t super clear what I was even supposed to do at first, but I figured it out.
First, I grabbed the code. I just found whatever was available online and copied that stuff into my local environment. Honestly, I wasn’t even 100% sure if it was the right code, but I just went with it.
Getting Started
I opened up my trusty old text editor. Nothing fancy, just something I’m used to using. Then I created a new file and pasted all that code in. I saved it as, like, “zoff_*” or something. I like using .py ’cause it reminds me it’s Python.
Running the Thing
Next, I fired up the terminal. Again, nothing special here, just the regular command line. I navigated to the folder where I saved that file. You know, the usual “cd” commands. I always forget the exact path, so I usually end up typing “ls” a few times to make sure I’m in the right place.
Then came the moment of truth: I typed in “python zoff_*” and hit enter. There was a bit of, uh, waiting. Then it started doing the magic!
The Dino Doing Its Thing
- It started printing out.
- I can see the pictures in my folder.
- It created a few text files, I saw the text files were outputted in my folder.
It took a little while, but hey, that’s okay. It did the job!
Wrapping Up
So yeah, that’s basically it. I downloaded some code, saved it, ran it, and it worked. Pretty simple, actually. Maybe I’ll try messing with the code later to see if I can make it do different stuff. But for now, I’m happy I got it to run at all!
