For those of you who want to play on Chromebooks out there, but doesn't like the web version, I'll just share some things that helped me run the game on Chromebook.

  • Have Linux on your chromebook enabled! This is required, as Linux holds some really powerful tools that you will need in order to actually play this game! 
  • Install things like pygame with Linux! Go to the Github page for clangen, and find what is required to run it! A big one is Pygame! Make sure your Pygame, Python and whatever else Clangen requires to run is downloaded and up to date. If you don't know how to download things on Linux on your chromebook, go look it up, I'm not Google, you can do it yourself. The internet will also give you instructions on how to download these things too. It is also recommended to use something to run Clangen too, like IDLE. I think Thonny can probably run it too, idk.
  • Use the Github version of Clangen! More specifically, go to the branch with the latest officially release version on Itch.io. This version uses a .py file instead of a .exe file. .exe files cannot be run on Chromebooks, but .py can, with the help of Linux! 
  • To run the .py file, use the command python3 main.py (which is the name of the file).

I dunno what else to put here, but if anyone else also runs clangen on Chromebooks with Linux, you can add some more stuff to my comment here. Also, I'm not a professional coder hackerman or anything like that. I just did all of this coding stuff to run clangen, lol. So uh... yeah.

Also, apparently the Linux versions can work too, but I haven't figured out how to get the Linux version running, oops-

heres a simple Linux guide for Chromebook peeps I made:

ENABLE LINUX!!

Download whatever Linux version works on your chromebook. look it up I aint no google.

Go to the .zip and right click, hit extract all. Move the new 'Clangen' folder to your general downloads. 

exit and right click said folder, hit 'open in terminal' and once the files load, type (case sensitive) ./Clangen.

it should be up and running! if problems, ask in the discord.
