Issue when rendering only the OpeningManimExample scene #883

Closed lachlanjs closed 4 years ago

lachlanjs commented 4 years ago

Hello, wonderful Manim community :).

Following Theorem Of Beethoven's 1.1 tutorial, I ran into some trouble. The OpeningManimExample scene in example_scenes.py gives me an error from the following command:

python -m manim example_scenes.py OpeningManimExample -pl

The first parts of the scene are rendered until the number plane appears. Other scenes in example_scenes.py render just fine. I did have a lengthy installation process and had to fix a few problems but I managed and I think I have now installed everything correctly. All files referenced in the error message appear to be intact and have never been modified by accident to the best of my knowledge. I am running Windows 10 the latest version of Manim, and python 3.7.6.

The error message is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\extract_scene.py", line 155, in main scene = SceneClass(scene_kwargs) File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\scene\scene.py", line 53, in init self.construct() File "example_scenes.py", line 40, in construct grid = NumberPlane() File "C:\Manim\manim-master\manimlib\mobject\coordinate_systems.py", line 287, in init super.init(kwargs) TypeError: descriptor 'init' of 'super' object needs an argument

My apologies if this is a trivial problem, I did my best to find a fix. My sincerest thanks to anyone who can help :).

Yes, it is a typo, here is the solution.

Thank you very much! @Elteoremadebeethoven

Yes, it is a typo, here is the solution.

@Elteoremadebeethoven Would you be able to comment on this in your video? As it is a relatively new issue from what I can see? Just in case another encounters this problem :)

Elteoremadebeethoven commented 4 years ago

It is assumed that in my tutorials (at least the videos listed) you must use the version of February 3, 2019, I did this precisely to avoid this type of problem. If people want to use the latest version then they should be aware of the latest version. So no, I see no reason to comment, because in the future the same will happen.

@Elteoremadebeethoven

Oh okay. Fair enough. Is the version you quote in your video the most stable version or something?

Elteoremadebeethoven commented 4 years ago

It is the most stable to run the vast majority of old 3b1b videos, you can watch the video of "How to learn Manim by yourself", with the version of Feb/03/2019 you can run 50 or 60% of the old projects, and this will help you learn much more. But once you've learned the basics (when you get to video 8 of my tutorial) it's a good idea to start using the newest version. Do not forget to close the issue.
