Background

ZeroCat was originally proposed by @sunwuyuan a long time ago. Our goal is to create a fully open-source programming community, and this project started from that vision. However, significant progress was made only when Sun Wuyuan was in the second year of middle school.

Maintaining a programming community is, to some extent, quite challenging, but I believe this project will continue to develop.

The goal of this repository is to:
Develop a comprehensive programming community that supports Scratch, Python, and other languages suitable for beginner programmers.

Configure Environment Variables

Rename .env.example to .env or configure the environment variables manually (refer to .env.example for guidance).
Please do not use both environment variables and .env at the same time, and ensure the project's environment does not conflict with other projects.
Currently, all environment variables must be configured.
