Problems converting a python pygame into exe


okay so I'm trying to convert my python pygame game into a .exe file so I can send it to friends but every time I try to convert it creates the .exe file but I can't open it doesn't mark any error and it doesn't have any extra files

I have tried auto-py-to-exe and pyinstaller almost every possible combination

it only uses pygame, Sys and random modules and python of curse here is a GitHub with the file

I don't know if you can tell me how to convert it or just straight upconvert it for me


Solution

  • Get py2exe. It is easy to use. Assuming your main script is game.py and that script includes all the other stuff, all you need to do is prepare yet another script, let us call it setup.py and type in:

    from distutils.core import setup import py2exe
    setup(console=['game.py'])

    Now execute that file and it compiles everything into an executable:

    python setup.py py2exe
