[Tutor] Help with a game (fwd)

[Danny Yoo]

Forwarding to tutor at python.org.

Ok, good, the error message gives us something to look for.  The error
message is saying that the system can't find the 'main()' function: where
is it?

Please continue to reply to the address 'tutor at python.org'; I might be a
little busy today, but the others on the Python-Tutor list can help you.

    exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
  File "A:\game folder\game.py", line 129, in ?
    main()
NameError: name 'main' is not defined

Again, i've included my code and i'll add in the bitmap files i've obtained, any help is apprieciated and i thank you so much for helping me out.  Here is the code and agian, Thank you.

Hello!

Can you be more specific by what you mean by "won't run"? This question
may sound silly, but we're actually a little serious here: does Python
give out an exception or traceback? Do you see anything at all on the
screen when you run the program? And have you been able to get other
pygame examples to work yet?


Many of us have already seen the Chimp example from pygame's web page:

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


so I'm pretty sure we can get this straightened out quickly. But we
really do need more information about how the program is failing;
otherwise, we can't effectively debug the situation.


Good luck to you!
