The issue is typically resolved by simply pressing the key you want again, should holding it result in a jam.\r\n- No score displayed when running Windows executable. This is due to some odditties in dealing with py2exe and pygame's default font. The quickest way to make it possible to create the executable was to simply remove the score display.\r\n\r\nNEW:\r\nThe ompldr links I was using before seem to be failing people, so I've uploaded the whole package to dropbox. Just as before, windows users can run the main.exe file located in src\/dist, and Linux\/OSX users can just run the main.py file with python (provided you have pygame installed).\r\nI've included a Windows executable. \r\nExtract the rar's contents, navigate to src\/dist and then run main.exe.\r\n\r\nWritten with Python 2.7, but should work with Python 2.6.X to 2.7.4.

You can't actually 'win'- or rather, as long as you're playing, you're always winning!\r\n","title":"Color Police"}
