    to do this in the newer versions you have to
    1) Install python to path and add to environment variables (WEB NOT MICROSOFT)
    2) Open cmd
    3) Type "cd (your code location)" make sure to remove the parenthesis and quotes
    4) Now just follow the video but type the commands in cmd
    5) If your game crashes on start, drag all the necessary files such as pictures into the "dist" folder
    6) OPTIONAL: add -w after --onefile to have the cmd prompt off
    7) Don't call me a nerd thanks
