Note for all readers: this email is about development; when there is an official Windows version of the game, none of the steps below will be required; it will "just work" as they say (we hope!)
I've just tried the following to get the python script running on Windows and it seems to be working -- though I've not yet complied the engine to test the TTS for sure. I reckon that'll need a bit of work but this is a start... 1. Get python 2.7 from <http://www.python.org/download/>. 2. Get pywin for that version of python from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/>. 3. Get the PyGUI package from <http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python_gui/> and extract it; move the GUI directory to same directory as the script. 4. Get the pyttsx package from <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyttsx> and extract it; move the pyttsx directory to same directory as the sript. I used 7-zip from <http://www.7-zip.org/> to do the extracting of the .tar.gz files. There is an error in the PyGUI file win32/ButtonBases.py; as a mailing list message I found [1] points out: it should have this line before any other code: from GUI.GControls import Control as GControl At this point you will be able to run the launcher script on Windows but it won't work properly because the game and other files are not in the expected places, however this is a good start. I am now working on compiling the engine on Windows. When that's done I can see about how well the TTS works. It would be really helpful to have a build script that puts all the files in the right place for the Windows release, much as we have now for OS X (although I don't think the script could download things automatically on Windows as I don't think there is a built-in command to do that). I could probably quite quickly knock up such a thing in shell scripting language on OS X, which could generate a .zip file or similar to send over to Windows and use as the basis for building a release, but that would mean that to make a Windows release we'd need someone to run a script on UNIX first. It might be best for me to move the files to a less platform-specific place in the repository and then tweak my OS X scripts to make the application bundle, and write a batch file on Windows to do the same sort of thing on the Windows side.
