3 years ago Hi, Thanks for getting in touch, and I'm sorry (although not unsurprised) that you're still experiencing the same frustrations you had before.
I'm going to read your email when I'm a lot less tired, but wanted you to know wasn't ignoring you, especially if you're watching commits to Earwax.
Firstly, the command line client doesn't do a whole lot of much yet, apart from stories. I should have written into the docs though that you can start the CLI by just typing "earwax". I'll go make that change now.
A getting started tutorial is a great idea, and I'll definitely work on something like that when the tooling is a little more stable. Despite the stupidly high version number, it shouldn't really be at v1 yet, but I'm kind of feeling my way as it were.
Any and all feedback is useful, so please keep it coming.
Take care,
Chris Norman

Hi, I decided I would take a look at your library again for building an audio game, and found like last time there is no quick and easy way of getting up and going with this library.
I would like to propose a new tutorial that is linked to from your github readme for getting started with earwax. In the getting started, you can include your process for setting up a project using the earwax command line tools, and walking through creating a basic game using the tools that earwax provides. This would make it a lot easier for people new to earwax to get started using the library without having to read a bunch of documentation and example code.
I see you have a couple tutorials already on various features of earwax, so it shouldn't be to dificult to write up a getting started guide.
I was trying to run the commandline tool for running the earwax cli tools, although the docs on this is sparce, and I was not exactly sure what I needed to do. All that is provided in the docs is earwax.cmd.cmd_main() along with a couple other function calls. This is not how I am used to running python command line tools. Usually it is a separate executable or bat file that is in the scripts folder. I was not sure how to turn this, so I tried py -m earwax.cmd.cmd_main() and got an exception:
C:\Users\timot\Documents>py -m earwax.cmd.cmd_main() Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\python3.8.6\lib\runpy.py", line 185, in _run_module_as_main mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name,

I don't want to open a new issue on this because I am not even sure if I am running this correctly. To clarify, I did update my version of earwax and synthesizer to the latest versions. I am running python 3.8.6. A getting started tutorial would go a long way in describing what needs to be done here and what the expected output is.
I like the idea of the library you are creating, it just feels like you are still working out some kinks.
Thanks,
