doesn't work for me. The following error comes up right when I start the game (pygame window flashes up only for a split second):

Could not unpickle  save.dat

(OS X 1.6, python 2.6.4, pygame 1.9.1)

It's a shame - because, judging from your description, this might have been a really enjoyable game.

_path

Are the switches or the junctions they control supposed to show anything? For me they both just appear as solid red blocks. I have to use trial and error to tell where I'm going to come out.

It's definitely something about your PNGs:

usually, pygame can open png images on my computer, without problems.

However, when I replaced a png image in a small test app of mine with one from your game, I got the very same error. So there's definitely something about your png files that my pygame installation doesn't like. Are you using some uncommon compression method?

Strangely, I could open your files in other programs without problems. After I opened your png in Gimp and saved it again, pygame suddenly accepted it without problems.

PS: sorry if I am spoiling your holiday ;)

O.o

Oh well... I'll just open the images in GIMP and save them again. This is very odd. I didn't even touch these images so I'll just blame MSPaint. Thanks for finding the error.

@jfroco:
Thanks and good to know that it works for you. ;)

Yes, It's working perfectly now!
Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

Cosmologican: I have the same issue. I've managed to play up to level 12 through trial and error (go through pipe, hit button x times, go back through pipe, if die then repeat up until where you last were, hit button x+1 times, repeat) But I really don't know if this is the correct behaviour or if I'm missing something.

Looking in the data directory it looks like there's a "button" graphic that I haven't seen so it seems maybe likely that something is wrong with this for me.

This is what level 12 looks like to me, can anybody tell me if this is correct and I'm playing it right or if something is wrong?

@bencoder: Looks.. strange. Which Pygame version and OS?

ServalKatze on 2010/04/11 09:54:

Oh. Quick fix (if you don't mind poking around in the code):

Replace line 197 in map.py

if surface.get_at((x,y)) != (255,0,255):
with
if col==(255,255,255,255):

Sorry for the inconvenience.. Should have done more testing. ;)

if surface.get_at((x,y))==(255,255,255,255):

oh wow. Thanks ServalKatze. I can see what happens when I press the buttons now. this is much better :)
