Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - SheeppOSU - Apr-10-2019
I turned a .py file into .exe file. It works just fine on python but won't run as a .exe file. I don't know why. When I click on it, it opens up a screen, but says "Failed to execute script HyperSpace!" I don't know what to do. I used the method - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZSZHmWSOeM - because I just could get cx_Freeze to work. Here's the code for my game. Quick disclaimer - If you run it... brace yourself to become blind.

RE: Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - j.crater - Apr-10-2019
The error message you got is a generic one, some error/exception happened. It could be something like a missing DLL, or script not able to find some graphics library (path...) etc.
Logging to file or console is one way to attempt debugging. But I don't really know PyGame, there may be more appropriate ways for this.
RE: Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - metulburr - Apr-10-2019
pyinstaller is now the preferred method of building an exe. This is more updated and you probably would not have so many problems. Since that program uses pyinstaller, i guess its OK. I never heard of it before now.
Did you include additional directories for you font directory and image directories?
Before you hit
convert .py to .exe button, post what is in that current command (all of it). We need to know how you are building your exe. Also post your output that you get from that exe being built (all of it). You can give the argument --debug to write progress messages in the output. Do this before copying the output for us.
I would start small and work your way up when building exe files form py. For example write a basic hello world and see if that works. If all goes well, then try to import pygame and make a window. If that builds into an exe, then add directories for resources. Form there try your full program. This will easily and quickly pinpoint if there is an issue with python building into an exe or pyinstaller config, pygame into an exe, or a directory conflict issue. There are a lot of issues that can arise when building exe's from python. Its not a one problem fix.
There is also a section for when things go wrong in pyinstaller that you can read through
https://pythonhosted.org/PyInstaller/when-things-go-wrong.html
I had a py2exe setup script ready to go for pygame specifically. It had some special things i had to do with the setup script though. However apparently py2exe is no longer updated past python3.4-ish. You could try it for later versions, but not sure if there would be problems or not now. I havent done it in a long time.

The Current Command says - pyinstaller -y -F -w "C:\Users\Chadd\Desktop\HyperSpace!\HyperSpace!.py" - before I push it. I picked "One File" and "Window Based". The output when I click "Convert .PY to .EXE" is -

Complete. RE: Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - metulburr - Apr-10-2019
There is an option in that program to add a directory. I would add this
C:/Users/Chadd/Desktop/Ayden Stuff/C:\Users\Chadd\Desktop\HyperSpace!/ and load them in your script as carImg = pygame.image.load('RaceCar.png') instead of carImg = pygame.image.load('C:/Users/Chadd/Desktop/Ayden Stuff/RaceCar.png')I would also remove the -w flag during the debugging process and see what the console says of possible errors when you actually run the exe.
RE: Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - SheeppOSU - Apr-10-2019
Taking away the '-w' changes it to console based and i added a folder with all the pictures for the gam. Current command now looks like this -
Output:pyinstaller -y -F --add-data "C:/Users/Chadd/Desktop/HyperSpace Stuff";"HyperSpace Stuff/" "C:\Users\Chadd\Desktop\HyperSpace!\HyperSpace!.py"I found an error after editing a few things and it's line 92. The error is -

[5692] Failed to execute script HyperSpace!RE: Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - metulburr - Apr-11-2019
are you expecting freesansbold.ttf to be on your system or do you actually have a freesansbold.ttf font file in the same directory of your startup script? As is you are trying to load freesansbold.ttf file from your root directory. I am not sure if this is what you intended or not?
pygame.font.Font is for loading your own font files taking a path to the font file, where pygame.font.SysFont is for loading system fonts and usually does not need a path. Either way, due to the fact this seems to be a resource/font issue....I would simply try a different font.
You can get a list of system wide fonts via
sorted(pygame.font.get_fonts())Make sure to use SysFont and Arial is usually a safe one as some systems dont have freesansbold but only freesans. Or the safest approach is to use your own font.

which was the issue?
RE: Problems with executing .exe file (was .py) - SheeppOSU - Apr-11-2019
Sorry for late reply. It wasn't loading the font I was using and didn't worked. But it loaded the arial font
