Requirements

• Python 3.6
• PyTorch 1.8.1

Install

pip install -r requirements.txt

Quickstart

cp config.example.yaml config.yaml  # Create a config file
python main.py --render             # Render character images
python main.py --train              # Train and/or test a model

Configuration

Modify config.yaml before training.
