I wondered about this. The launcher script could probably chdir() to its own location before starting the user's code. It feels like the wrong approach in general - I believe the working directory should be primarily left as a convenience for end users, not for developers, and I'd rather try to build tools/templates that encourage the right way to do it - but it's arguably not such a sin in game development, where the end users probably don't need to interact with the filesystem. > zero effort - pygame icon fallback > small effort - one large image resized as needed > more effort - every size of icon, and file type can be specified exactly. > That makes sense. Pynsist includes a generic star icon as a fallback in a similar vein. I'll also think about converting icons between different formats.
