Research Outcomes

All the P5 sketches are based upon Daniel Shiffman's The Nature of Code - Randomness

To run all the examples, you need to set up a Python environment, and run these command lines to install required packages:

pip install fastapi uvicorn

And then, you can run the FastAPI server with Uvicorn:

uvicorn main:app --reload
