[lojban-beginners] Re: Now what?

["Jon \"Top Hat\" Jones" <eyeonus@gmail.com>]

I have both python and pygame installed already- I checked that before I downloaded the program. The program seems to run, but I can only get one of the 'levels' to load, and it searches for *.wav files when I press 'hear', but I downloaded the *.ogg ones.

Also, "Lojban Pronunciation.txt" (level 0) causes fatal error.

Here's the output of a sample run, first running level 0 (pronunciation), then level 1:

Here's what you should check that you have installed --

python -- probably need version 2.5 or so

pygame library for python -- this gives you graphics, or in this case colored text

Then check if you have a command called realplay. If not, edit parellel.py and change it to a command that will play a sound file as an argument given to it on the command line. Without this, you get no sound. It might cause a fatal error too.

Judging from some other python learning tools (like LearnFast) it is possible to use pygame's mixer to play the sound files as well, but I'm not sure (a) how to do it or (b) how to adjust the part of parellel.py that makes it wait until the sound finished.

Are you using the Windows or Linux version? The Windows version
worked straight away after I un-zipped it for me. The Linux (python
with pyGame) worked on my Mac, but took some tweaking since I don't
have realplay installed.
