Research direction

Start by running notebooks/Handcrafting a game.ipynb in Google Colab and on a Linux server, then compare the failure at M.render() with the Chrome driver installation steps in the README. Done means the notebook runs through M.render() in Colab and the documented driver setup works on Linux.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I followed the instructions from the file notebooks/Handcrafting a game.ipynb on both Colab and Linux server but encountered the following errors:

  1. On Colab -- error when running M.render()
    Image

  2. On Linux server -- error when installing the chrome driver following README instructions

Is there a way to fix this? Thank you
