Looking at the last post in this thread it seems to be a problem with pulseaudio: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45548&p=360197 Are you able to run other sound applications?

If the user is supposed to be able to open and see the images from the program, then they can still PrintScreen and grab the image. All I can suggest there is adding a watermark, so you at least know if they are grabbing it from the screen. If you zip the images with a password, then that password will still be in the script, the user will be able to obtain it. You can try to obfuscate the password but that only goes so far, anyone with some python knowledge would be able to find it out. Maybe compile the sensitive parts with cython and hope the users are not curious?

There was going to be a planet to aggregate blogpost but I don't know if it's implemented yet.

It doesn't appear for me even trying all kinds of zooming. I am using Chromium Version 33.0.1750.152 Debian jessie/sid If I change this `` for this `` in the dev console then it works :) I like the content of the columns, but not a fan of the horizontal scrolling. If you plan to keep this design though, I'd like it if the columns were a bit wider. My screen fits 4.5 columns. I think 3 columns + a bit more white space between them would look better. I also think it should tell you what Pygame is, maybe add a short description under the logo, something along the lines of: "PyGame allows you to make games with Python." Also, to add playfulness, maybe use the Comic Neue font for headers? http://comicneue.com/ -- Carlos

Another nice library you can use is PySFML, programming in it is somewhat similar to pygame (compared to pyglet which I have tried just a little, no idea about cocos) but with opengl behind it. www.sfml-dev.org -- Carlosz
