Sky Journey final

Huhh... It wasn't easy. There are many features we didn't have time to implement. Maybe we'll release them in a patch after the competiton. Rune drawing is a little difficult so be patient and follow the instuctions we gave. You'll succeed for sure and become a master wizard at the end of the game :)

Thank you! I've noticed this before but I didn't care because this is only a warning in python 2.4. Seem like it's an error in python 2.5 when you have accents in the COMMENTS! :) Arrrrghh....

Thank you for the bugreport!

That's very strange though. "No free channels available" is an error in the SDL_mixer module and it has nothing to do with font.render. I suspect that pygame uses a separate thread for playing sound effects and the error occured in that thread (and it raised a python exception of course). Maybe there were 8 sound effects playing the same time (or 7 because the music is just a sound effect)...

Try the following:
Insert this into main.py into line 50

pygame.mixer.set_num_channels(16)

Maybe that will solve the problem.
