Perfect — that error means Windows’ Python is trying to read the file in ASCII, and it sees a non-ASCII byte (that \x96 is a Windows “–” dash).

Let’s fix that permanently.

===== Open the .py file in your editor (for example Notepad++ or VS Code) and make sure: =====
# At the very top of the file, insert this exact first line: ``<code>python # -''- coding: utf-8 -''- </code>`<code> (put it before any other comment or code)
# Then replace all fancy dashes or quotes in the header with plain ones. It should start exactly like this: </code>`<code>python # -''- coding: utf-8 -''- # GoldenEllipseSpiralCubeSLIDER_SINE_CONTINUOUS_SAFE.py # UTF-8 safe version - Windows compatible <syntaxhighlight>3. Save the file explicitly as UTF-8 (in Notepad++ → Encoding → Convert to UTF-8, in VS Code → bottom-bar should show “UTF-8”).
# Run again: </syntaxhighlight>bash py GoldenEllipseSpiralCubeSLIDER_SINE_CONTINUOUS_SAFE.py </code>``

===== If you’d like, I can give you a 100 % ASCII-only version (no special dash, quotes, etc.) that will run even if saved as plain ANSI. =====

Would you like me to paste that fully clean version next (so you can just copy-paste directly into Notepad)?
