I can't compile a game made with pygame, what's wrong?

Question

Python

I made a simple game from the 90s (the same space shooter from slot machines) and now I want to compile it into an exe file (which I basically did). I transferred the resulting file to the directory with the files needed for the game (graphics and music), but I got this error:

Please help.

Answer 1

Python programs do not compile. You just received a self-extracting archive that contains the interpreter, all the necessary libraries and the script of your program. When launched, the working directory of the script becomes the temporary directory into which the archive was unpacked. There your script searches for game files, but does not find them.
