PyWeek - Playable (Kinda)

In the beginning, I had this great idea. Approximately 5% of this great idea has made it into the final game. I really really need to plan things out a bit better, because there are only so many hacks that can fit into one program before everything starts breaking. 

What I have now is a playable game. It is missing some graphics, but it going to be close to what I submit. Am I happy about it? I am happy about everything that I have learned from making this game. I am, however, a bit ashamed at how the game has turned out. I'll just have to take my lessons and do better next time.

im having this weird problem with a existing mp3 file.  It says its missing but it exists:
###
$ ls -l data/easy_run.mp3
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 74624 2010-08-27 12:13 data/easy_run.mp3

$ python run_game.py
...
pyglet.resource.ResourceNotFoundException: Resource "data/easy_run.mp3" was not found on the path.  Ensure that the filename has the correct captialisation.
###
I can even play this file. 
What could it be?

I haven't tried the game yet, but pyglet.resource looks in specific directories and here's the page describing how to properly set those: http://www.pyglet.org/doc/programming_guide/specifying_the_resource_path.html
(It's easy to forget to call pyglet.resource.reindex() for example.)

Same link but clickable: http://www.pyglet.org/doc/programming_guide/specifying_the_resource_path.html

I'm getting the same error. I tried putting the following two lines before the line that causes the error, and no luck:

        pyglet.resource.path.append(".")
        pyglet.resource.reindex()

Any other ideas?
