Same here, I am sad to say the neither of your scripts would run on my N800 it was mad about some font. Thanks for the effort though.

Code:

Nokia-N800-23-14:/home/user/MyDocs/nrace01# python nrace.py
nrace.py:5: RuntimeWarning: import cdrom: No module named cdrom
  from pygame import *
nrace.py:5: RuntimeWarning: import joystick: No module named joystick
  from pygame import *
/home/user/MyDocs/nrace01/ci_init.py:107: RuntimeWarning: use font: libSDL_ttf-2
.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  font=pygame.font.Font(path+"nosnb.ttf",43)             #Boldish font for the a
larm

strange... to avoid this kind of errors I usually pack everything I can with the application: the nosnb.ttf font (a standard nokia font on the n810) should be under a directory data at the same level of nrace.py togheter with the background pic, in your case:

Code:

/home/user/MyDocs/nrace01/

but if you received the same error even with the .deb I would believe is something bad with the pygame library installed on the tablet

the

Code:

----NotImplementedError: font module not available----

thing make me think
should be possible to test if you have that pygame module installed using the python commandline:

Code:

python
>>>import pygame.font

you should receive just the 2 usual pygame RuntimeWarnings about the missin modules cdrom and joystick
(retyping the import pygame.font a second time shoudl give you a cleaner feedback (no feedback at all in case of success)
To see the different answers you could try to import another pygame module less 'exotic' like:

Code:

>>>import pygame.event

or a mispelled one like

Code:

>>> import pygame.IHATEPYGAME

that should return with something like

Code:

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named IHATEPYGAME

In case you want give it a second shot I packed another version that should use a font already installed on the nokia (no more paths for the fonts but still use the pygame calls)
