Yeesh.  Any chance there's a complete list of such programs (and tutorials) in 
one place?

Thanks, but it's not the source code I want to test.  The source is less than 
a page and only involves moving a character around the screen with the arrow 
keys.

Want I want to make sure of is my ability to create working stand-alone files 
for various systems.  Cross-platform functionality is a major reason why I'm 
switching to pygame in the first place.

The previous alpha (which you can find in the first post) is a fully-playable 
game.  It was made with Game Maker 6.1, though, so you'll need a non-Vista 
version of Windows (and directX 8.0 or better) to run it.
