     I'm 99% sure you can't compile TPT with VSCode.

    I would point you to this https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Building_TPT_with_Meson.html#Compiling_for_MacOS, It's a fairly comprehensive guide on all the madness you need to do to compile TPT, if you need any more help, just ask for it, I don't mind.

    Why are you talking about VS Code? VS Code is just a text editor. For compiling on macOS, you shouldn't even be using Visual Studio at all; you want Homebrew to install the rest of the build deps with that. Just follow that guide and tell us what exactly fails.

    it says 

    /bin/brew: non-standard shell 

    could someone get me a clone of the final product when it is done compiling

     And what did you enter to get that message?

    `chsh -s /bin/brew`

    Why are you trying to set brew as your login shell? That is not in the guide.

    Just follow the guide exactly and then tell us what goes wrong, if something goes wrong

     You compiled it successfully?

    If you got that to work, you can run the executable right aferwards by entering ./powder
