Thanks, I installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 and the game works now.

I packaged this file along with the program so you should have this file in the same folder as camel.exe. ON Windows at least, python programs tend to work pretty well on Windows 10 but a Google search indicates to me that some people sometimes have trouble running programs written in Python and compiled with PyInstaller when using Windows server or a windows virtual machine (especially Windows 7 and 8). Could this be your problem? Another thing to consider is: Do you have any Visual C++ redistributables installed? You may specifically want to try and fix the problem by installing the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 run-time components: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=48145 Looks like this is a known Pyinstaller issue. Potentially I may be able to fix this by using another package like Py2exe but I don't really want to do this as Py2exe appears to essentially be a deprecated project.
