I created this game (really two games) for a side project. I’m having trouble downloading to a pygamer. Can anyone help me? @richard

unfortunately, i don’t think there’s an easy way to make this program fit. you just have a lot of string and image literals in your project. the real issue is your word game; the list of words/definitions is taking up a lot of space as well as all of the tutorial text. you might have some luck if you split this into two separate games

That’s what I was afraid of. I’m going to try to cut down on the definitions and take out some of the sprites. I’m not sure how much I need to reduce the size by.
Where have I heard that music before… 
Definitely splitting these into two separate games is the thing to do, but I still don’t think that massive array of text would fit unless you did some clever text compression stuff, like substituting common words for numbers and then changing them when it shows the text?… idk… good luck with that!!
All the math stuff could definitely be randomized instead of set math problems, but that also takes a lot of extra code, especially for stuff like “there is 1” vs “there are 2”. Stuff like that takes a lot of thinking through possibilities and testing and honestly I would probably give up almost as soon as I started on something like that, though there are probably plenty of online resources for that stuff…
The fact that it’s too big for your PyGamer doesn’t change that fact that it’s a good, working game!!! It’s also nice to see my music being used 
Condensing it would take away too many of the words, so I will have separate files. Thanks for all your help!
