Troggle is written in Python (about 5,700 lines excluding comments) and is built on the Django framework. Before starting to work on Troggle it might be a good idea to run through an initial install and exploration of <a href="https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Tutorials">a tutorial Django project</a> to get the Django concepts bedded down - which are not at all obvious and some exist only within Django.

You will find it very useful to see what is going on if you look directly at the data in the database (just a single file in the sqlite case) and browse the data in the tables. A light-weight, simple db browser is <a href="https://sqlitebrowser.org/">DB Browser for SQLite</a>. Connecting directly the the MariaDB database with a control panel or <a href="https://www.mysql.com/products/workbench/">workbench</a> gives even more tools and documentation capabilities.
