2048.py doesn't find 2048.dll

How are you running it? By using the command line?

Hi.
I built the project on Windows using VS2012, then I have my folder bin
with 2048.dll inside, but when I run 2048.py, it tells me this :
Couldn't load 2048 library bin/2048.{so,dll,dylib}! Make sure to build it
first.
I'm running 2048.py in his directory, using python 2.7

Yes, I'm using the command line.

Which directory did you say you ran 2048.py from? It should be run from the 2048-ai/ root directory, not any subdirectory.

[Neryu]

I run it from this directory, of course.
I'm going in the directory "2048-ai" and run the program by typing "python 2048.py"

I think I figured it out. Your python is 64-bit and the DLL you built is 32-bit, or vice-versa. Basically the DLL has the wrong "bit-ness" so python doesn't load it, and the message incorrectly claims the library can't be found.

To fix, make sure to use the MSVC command prompt corresponding to the bitness of your Python: x86 for 32-bit, and x64 for 64-bit.

It was this, thank you. I built the dll in 32-bit.
It is working well, thank you for your work and your support !
