Hi all! I'm a new member and this's my first post...

I'm Mac user with Mountaing Lion OS X 10.8.2
After installing python-2.7.3-macosx10.6 and pygame-1.9.1release-python.org-32bit-py2.7-macosx10.3 I'have this errore testing pyGame:

Code: Select all

Python 2.7.3 (v2.7.3:70274d53c1dd, Apr  9 2012, 20:52:43)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pygame

Thanks!

Hi,
Try using the 32 bit version of python by running the command:

Code: Select all

python2.7-32 blablabla.py

instead of

Code: Select all

python blablabla.py

This will run python in 32-bit mode to match the architecture of 32-bit pygame.

Great work! I must say I'm really impressed!
Only 12 and already implementing some high school math (I believe).
You will become an amazing developer in the near future!

Cheers!

Thank you for the great tutorial Julian. I looked on your website, and we have a lot in common. I am also 12 years old, love programming an electronics and also play the cello in an orchestra.

for pygame, getting a bug i can't work out after step 9.

W,A,S moves the player fine, but pressing D quits the program.
