Tutorial environment update

Dear students,

Some of you have reported an issue with installing the box2d package on Windows machines. This package is used in tutorial 8 and HW4.

An updated environment.yml file and instructions for Windows were published in the tutorials repo. The Getting Started page was also updated. Briefly, for Windows you should install Microsoft’s Build Tools for Visual Studio and make sure “C++ Build Tools” is selected during installation. Then, install the conda environment with the updated environment file (preferably a clean install).

Note that even you don’t manage to install this package on your system, you can still view the tutorial 8 notebook on the site, and use the course server for HW4.

Thanks to the students who reported the issue and solution.
