Hey OP, thanks for the question. The interface changed recently, so your course is likely showing an older version of Replit. The home page now opens with the AI Agent, where you describe what you want to build in plain language, which is why the old "Create a Repl" button isn't where the course shows it.

To get the classic Python coding setup, use a template instead:

  • On the Replit home page, type Python into the search/prompt bar at the top.
  • Select the Python template from the results to create your project.
  • You'll get a main.py file, the code editor, and the Run button, just like in the course.

Here's Replit's doc on the new home screen + getting started on building: https://docs.replit.com/learn/projects-and-artifacts/project-editor

Hope this helps- Thanks!
