Re: [pygame] Announcing Pygris

[Francis Irving <francis@flourish.org>]

I've just tried it under Debian Linux, and it works perfectly.  After
installing the latest timidity, libsdl-mixer1.2 and timidity-patches
packages, the music works as well.

The only things that I noticed might be in the Windows version also:
- I couldn't find the key for drop quickly (down arrow, usually). This
makes the game too slow for me - I was too impatient early on to get
to any later levels (new background pictures?) if there are any.
- Holding down left or right doesn't repeat, I have to tap repeatedly.
- The title screen wasn't responsive.  Is it timed?  A key press should
advance through it.

Also, I must not have the right resolution in my X server, as in 
full screen it was just in a square in the middle of my window.  Is 
it a very low resolution?  Maybe 320x200 or something.

I like the bricks exploding down when the lines are complete.

Good stuff, and yes, it is cross platform!
