Monsterz does not run

[banjobacon]

I tried running Monsterz (http://sam.zoy.org/monsterz/), but it's not working. A black window opens when I run the program, followed by a split second of music, and then the window closes. This is what is left in the terminal:

leo@phonie:~/apps/monsterz-0.6.1$ python monsterz.py
monsterz.py:361: RuntimeWarning: tp_compare didn't return -1 or -2 for exception if (w, h) == size:
monsterz.py: could not open data from `'.
Traceback (most recent call last):

mini = scale(mini, (t * 7 / 8 - 1, t * 7 / 8 - 1))
File "monsterz.py", line 361, in _scale
if (w, h) == size:
RuntimeError: attempt to unlock an unlocked surface
leo@phonie:~/apps/monsterz-0.6.1$


I get the same results when running from source or installing the .deb packages. I have Python, pygame and numeric installed.

Can anyone run this program? Any clues as to what may be the problem?

I got the game to run. I am running breezy and jsut installed the debs and the dependencies. I didn't have any problems.

I have exactly the same problem.

Does anybody know what we can do?

The problem is the 0.6.1 version of the game. You need to use 0.6.0 version. Get it from here...
