Hi
The thing is this
I get an error that says sort() has no arguments
Th error is in the sentence high_score.sort(reverse=TRUE)
If you put just sort() it will work but the list will show from low to high and we don't want that 'cause if you make a high score it won't be able to know so you have to figure out another way to reverse the list

Alberto,
Thank you for replying! I sent answers to the general questions to the tutor list, so that hopefully the extra clarification might help someone else answer (I havent had much luck with this thread, unfortunately). But I wanted to reply to you personally to send a copy of the game. It's a "mod" of a game from pygame, but I've added a lot of stuff to it. I'll send it as a zip file with two different "play" files - run the one simply called "play" to test out the game without the crash (oh, a side-note: the enemy ships will change graphics on levels 2 and 3, but they're not pretty - i just put those graphics in there as a place holder until i make their prettier replacements). Anyway, the play file called "copy of play wscorelist2" is the copy with the scorelist that is crashing. If you just want to see the *code* you can look at either of those two files, but I thought you might want to play the actual game so I'm sending it all. Have fun :) Any comments/ideas/suggestions are very welcomed!! I'm having a couple friends test it out. But since I'm new I might not be able to take ALL of the suggestions before I have to have the game done next week, ha ha.
Anyway thanks so much for replying, and for any help or suggestions you might have about the crash.

P.S. if you dont have them, you'll need pygame and the livewires module, available at http://www.livewires.org.uk/python/lwpackage.html . Thanks again!
