There might be multiple issues at work there, but one reason I can think of is that I still do Playscii Mac builds with 32-bit Python on macOS Yosemite, and 32-bit stuff stopped being supported with Catalina. I need to research what options are available to me to support newer macOSes.

Hey, did you get a chance to look into this? I'd really love to be able to use this but I'm getting the same error.

Update: no actual progress on this, but here's an issue I have open with the PyInstaller project, which I use to create the Mac builds: https://twitter.com/playscii/status/1470155468395847683

I will let people know in this thread when I get it resolved - no ETA on when that will be unfortunately.

Any chance you were able to look into this? No pressure :P

Sorry, it's definitely never happening, there's no way I will buy an ARM Mac just to do builds for it, and Apple has made very sure that that's the cost for entry. I recommend running Playscii from source (installing Python, etc).

That’s totally fair haha! It took two hours but I finally got it working from source, so I’m set now :) Thanks for making it open source <3
