SW Minis Companion 2.9 — Python source distribution

This contains the desktop app, database, glossary, icons and sound. Artwork
(cards, tokens and maps) is supplied separately by your host.

1. Extract this ZIP into a folder you can write to.
2. Install Python 3.11 or newer.
3. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies.

Windows PowerShell, inside the extracted folder:
  py -m venv .venv
  .\.venv\Scripts\python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  .\.venv\Scripts\python.exe MinisCompanion_Qt_database.py

Linux, inside the extracted folder:
  python3 -m venv .venv
  .venv/bin/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
  .venv/bin/python MinisCompanion_Qt_database.py

Extract the separate asset pack into this same folder so cards/, tokens/ and
maps/ sit beside the Python files. This source release still uses these local
paths. It does not yet have the planned asset import screen or built-in updater.

Online lobbies: open Multiplayer and use minis.poachedphoenix.com. Get the
private server key from the host. Do not distribute that key publicly.
The app remembers your name and connection identity per OS user.
Shared online gameplay is still in development; table gameplay is local.

For full controls and release details, see README_VTT_2.9.txt.
