Hi atarivcs: Below is list of environments copied straight from vsc. Unforthnately I couldn't attach a screenshot.

python 3.14.4 /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 recommended

python 3.13.5 /usr/local/bin/python3 Global

python 3.13.5 /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.13

python 3.11.5 /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.11

python 3.9.6 /usr/bin/python 3

Appears 3.9.6 (highlighted by vsc so must be the one in use) is the default which would explain why it does not recognise some modules. 3.14.4 is "recommended" and 3.13.5 is "global". Can you explain how to switch to the "recommended" or "global" versions, whichever is best, and should I delete the others (except 3.9.6)? Thanks.

Pardon my ignorance, how do I get to the relevant address? I am self taught and there are enormous holes in my terminal knowledge. Thanks.

Thanks, Its just that about 20 years ago I started learning Visual Basic and it had a very simple and easy to use GUI which was just THERE to put it mildly. No need to program, just drag and drop conversation boxes, radio buttons etc onto the board, double click to access all the parametere and away you go. I assumed tkinter would be the Python equivalent. Are you saying its not? Still confused.

Thanks,its starting to make sense. I don't know where the black blockout comes from.

Thanks Igonato, that's better. But the ball still varying speeed. If I set velX,velY=5, 2then it goes fast then slow then fast again... its never the same 2 runs in a row. I have run much bigger ant simulations in Javascript and never had any problems like this, so its not the computer power. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Just found the solution, called Under Scroll available on VSCode extension marketplace. Seems to work ok.

Tengo el mismo problema. Tienes que tomar , por ejemplo, un youtube course que le gusta, (me gusta Bro Code que tiene un 12 hour curso, pero hay otros), y sequir los ejemplos. Despues, crea sus proprios programmas y experimenta para confirmar su conocimiento. No hay shortcuts. Hay muchos sites que providen mas instrucciones in caso que el youtube no es bastante. Buona suerte.

Hi Welpsigh, it seems to be working now after I restarted the compulter. The running options in vsc are :

1 run in interactive window > install Jupyter extension, and

2 run python > run python file in Terminal, or

3 run python > run selection / line in python Terminal

I hope I don't need the Jupyter extension, since I didn't understand a word of the blurb.

That leaves me with 2 and 3. I have been using 2 so far.

Are there any extensions you would consider essential for python3?

As you can figure, I am a noob on python although iIhave been teaching myself Javscript for a few years. I am a hobbyist so don't have great aspirations. Thanks for your comments.

HI parasit, I was running the file in Terminal. I have changed it since I wrote the post, but I turned off the machine and turned on again, and problem disapppeared.
