Hi

I have an open source game that is written in python and would really like to find a away to extract the contents, the game is a educational game and has a spelling mistake in it!

The game is installed on my computer and i have found out how to fix it after it has been installed,

Is there anyway of compressing the contents back into a .exe file after it has been edited,

The game is called childsplay.
And the spelling mistake is (Appel--apple)

Here is the link:http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/...32.exe?download


I am running windows xp.

Any help would be much appreciated,

They provide the source code on sourceforge. Just get the .tar.gz file. It contains the editable source.

EDIT: Also appel is a real word.

After you fix the typo yourself be sure to let the authors know as well

There was bug notices on sourceforge about it. Looks like there's been no development since 2002.

I know that , but not when its the green or red things that hang from trees. AKA apples

Thanks for the lesson in english.

Yea, appel is more of a verb, not a red dangly thing.

Sweet i have downloaded the tar.gz file and peeled it apart,

Now i am new to programming with python but i am very keen to learn,

I have some back round knowledge in programming as i have been running CNC lathes and machining centers in engineering for the past 5yrs and i still love it!!

Program code sorta goes like this:

N01 G13
N02 G50 S2500

N03 G00 X900 Z900
N04 X60 Z20 T010101 M03 M08 G96 S180
N05 Z0
N06 G01X-.1.5F.25
N07 G00 Z2
N08 X58
N09 G01 Z-50 F.3
N10 G00 X59
N11 Z20
N12 M05
N13 M09
N14 M02

this programming can go very deep, i just can't be screwed at the mo as i have just finished working and my brain hurts.

We also use a lot of variables.

I have been playing around with the python idle.

and have a basic idea ,

Is there any really good start from scratch forums out there, as i've sort of been running around in circles a bit for the last week or so.

But back to the topic at hand,

I now have the project files for the childs play game, they have been edited and now i would like to know how i could compile it into a exe file so i can run it on another computers.

Any help would appreciated with the uttermost thank fullness.
