Re: [pygame] image-loading path

Hi
btw, I would use os.path.join(...) to join your path (because /home/users/... might look different on different platforms e.g. \home\users\... ). 

Usage:
p = os.path.join('home', 'users', ...)

I would use os.path.abspath() to see if the path you think you are passing is what is actually being passed. 
e.g.,

import os, pygame

p = os.path.abspath("../images/image.png")
print p
pygame.image.load(p)


--p

    Lets say you have:

    /home/user/project/
    /home/user/project/images
    /home/user/project/scriptst/game.py

    You say:

    cd /home/user/project/
    python scripts/game.py

    You would want your images referenced as "images/image.png"

    If however, you say:

    cd /home/user/project/scripts
    python game.py

    You would want your images referenced as "../images/image.png"

    In other words, your image path is relative to where you cd to, not
    where game.py is.
