I spent some time on it tonight (first time at reading python :(). It seems that at two points in the codebase, a pygame surface cannot be blit because the surface is still locked (there is an unlock() before the blit, but it seems to fail). Those two points are the copyright surface (this is the one that makes the game fail early), and the timeframe surface.
After some mindless trial and error, the problem appears to be related to the use of "enumerate" in for loops (it seems to keep some reference on the "alpha" 2D array which itself is linked to the surface). Because of the remaining link, the unlock() fails. I have a local change that replaces "enumerate" by "range" in some for loops, and it seems to correct the problem (I could start and play several games with pygame 1.8.1). I will try to come up with a debdiff and maybe even a version in a PPA (Christmas vacation may make this more difficult). -- monsterz.py crashed with error in blit() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275492 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
