Hi Kyle; it's nice to hear from you again!


We can handle the sound and image part with the Pygame module:

I think pygame can handle mp3 and wav's, but I'm not so sure about wma's.
For that, you probably need to do something Windows-specific.  Try asking
on the python-win32 list, and I'm sure someone there might know how to get
wma files to play.

For the image part, you can probably yank out components of Pygame's
'chimp' tutorial:

    http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/ChimpLineByLine.html

replace the 'chimp' image loading with your own image.


I hope this helps!
