I have the best inotify autorunner script around… and it's only 270 lines of zsh!

So there's apparently Manim Community (`manim`) & Manim (`manimgl`)?
The CLI for `manimgl` is … rough, and the common API between these two tools is not that much better.
The output is impressive, for sure, but the tools do not seem well designed.

Today's bug is much easier, but understanding exactly why it happens requires digging into the Python bytecode.
This Python (≥3.10) code allows you to register games and solvers for those games and automatically tests every solver against every game to evaluate them. The code works, but then I moved one line of code around, and suddenly I get a NameError, even though the specified name clearly exi
