SimCo Construction Calculator

This is a tool to calculate the construction price of things.

How to use

Windows

  1. Install git
  2. Install Python
    • Make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH" when installing Python

Add Python to PATH

  1. Open your Documents folder
  2. Hold shift and right-click, then click "Open PowerShell window here"

Open PowerShell

  1. Run git clone https://github.com/askiiart/simco-construction-calculator to clone the repository.
  2. Run cd simco-construction-calculator/ to go into the folder.
  3. Run python main.py to run the program.

Mac

  1. Open the terminal

Open the terminal

  1. Run xcode-select --install to install xcode (we need git and python3, which are both installed with xcode)

Install xcode

  1. Click "Install", and agree to the terms, then wait for xcode to install.
  2. Run cd ~/Documents to go to your Documents folder.
  3. Run git clone https://github.com/askiiart/simco-construction-calculator to clone the repository.
  4. Run cd simco-construction-calculator/ to go into the folder.
  5. Run python3 main.py to run the program.

Linux

This won't be as detailed, because Linux varies so much, and because Linux users tend to know how to do this anyways. P.S. this is all in the terminal.

  1. Install git - this varies by distro (well, your package manager, like apt, dnf, etc.), but is usually sudo apt install git or sudo dnf install git or something like that.
  2. Run cd ~/Documents to go to your Documents folder.
  3. Run git clone https://github.com/askiiart/simco-construction-calculator to clone the repository.
  4. Run cd simco-construction-calculator/ to go into the folder.
  5. Run python3 main.py to run the program.

Android

Sorry for the

  1. Install Pydroid 3, and the Pydroid repository plugin from the Google Play Store

Pydroid 3

  1. Open Pydroid 3, and click through the first few screens. When you get to this screen, enable "Preserve files on exit" and "Tab inserts spaces".

Pydroid 3 settings

  1. Click through the rest, then press the X button in the top right to exit the ad. You do NOT need to pay.

Exit the ad

  1. Click the hamburger menu (the 3 bars), then click "Pip". Type "wget", then click install, and wait for it to install. This shouldn't take too long.

Install wget

  1. Click the back arrow, then copy the code from here. Paste the code into Pydroid 3, then click the run button in the bottom right.

iOS

Try Pyto. I can't provide detailed instructions because:

  1. I don't have any iPhones or iPads that are new enough to run this (iOS 14 is required)
  2. I don't want to deal with it.

You could also run this in a Jupyter notebook on Google Colab, but that would be tricky because it's a Jupyter notebook, and so isn't very interactive. Feel free to fork this and make a Colab version, though. Or maybe I'll make a Colab version, but don't count on it.
