ImportError when trying to load the app (M1 mac)

Very interesting.

I had always created this project with the intent of creating a DL model that would, given a table configuration, spit out the cue stick parameters (a, b, phi, theta, V0) that would result in a "good" shot.

If you're interested in working together, please shoot me an email, which you can find on my website: ekiefl.github.io. Perhaps we could collaborate, though my time is rather limited. I assume yours is too.

@ekiefl Thanks for the support, indeed switching all imports of kind pandac.PandaModules to panda3d.core fixed the issue, the application is now running.

Great. I will add those changes to the main branch. You should probably pull those changes once I add them, rather than have your repo start diverging too much. I am actively working on the codebase, which is far from polished.

Although it isn't documented, press n in the menu to start playing (yeah, that's where we're at development wise lol)

Hey @edoson thanks for checking out the project. If I may ask, how did you find out about pooltool? I'm curious because this repo has received a lot more attention in the last week than it has in recent months. Were you referred by a link?

Anyways, thanks for this error report. I am able to reproduce this error on an M1 mac.

The error comes from the internals of pooltool's primary dependency, panda3d. I've filed an error report on their repo, and you can track any progress there: panda3d/panda3d#1393. It seems like they are targeting a fix that would be included in the 1.10.13 release.

I'll keep this issue open to improve its visibility until 1.10.13 is released.

Hi Evan, Thanks for your quick reply and for opening an error report. I've discovered your project by directly googling for an open source pool simulator. I'm a deep learning researcher and want to tackle the problem of predicting pool balls trajectory using AI, essentially learning the real world physics or in that case, the physics you've so nicely implemented in the simulator.
