"apple.png","snakehead.png","intro.wav","dead.wav". They are basically apple picture, head of snake, intro sound and dead sound.Without them script will not run. Just make inactive the statements intro.wav and dead.wav, and find a little apple picture and snake head :).Or you can play the game just install it. <strong>Here is the installer:</strong> <a href="http://dosya.co/7c6f15c0f4d04514/Flafel-1.26-win32.rar" rel="nofollow">http://dosya.co/7c6f15c0f4d04514/Flafel-1.26-win32.rar</a> It will install the game in program files, you can find it in search "Flafel" and click to Flafel.exe. </p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 355593 by <a href="/recipes/users/2176948/">Georg Nelles</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ui/">ui</a>). </p> <p>With the "SetClipboardViewer" function you can add a window to the chain of clipboard viewers. Whenever the content of the clipboard changes, a message is send to the clipboard viewer windows. A clipboard viewer window must process two messages and pass them to the next window in the chain. With a sample about hooking the window procedure of a wxPython Frame, I made up the following clipboard viewer.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 269345 by <a href="/recipes/users/98151/">Bill Bell</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/web/">web</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>Various sources (but principally Hammond and Robinson) show how to instantiate Internet Explorer in order to have access to its interfaces. However, few places show how to connect to an instance that is already running, which is so easy in VB.</p> <p>Thanks are due to someone called "gcash" for this idea. See <a href="http://dbforums.com/t867088.html." rel="nofollow">http://dbforums.com/t867088.html.</a></p> <p>It just seemed to me that this is a good recipe to have in this collection as a reference to a certain approach, rather than as a full solution.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 120687 by <a href="/recipes/users/235719/">Henk Punt</a> . </p> <p>The following code implements a splash screen as typically found in windows applications. Using only API's available from win32gui, win32api and win32con, it avoids dependancy on MFC (wrapped by win32ui). This way the 600kb or so win32ui.pyd extension DLL is not needed when freezing your app with py2exe. Another 80kb could be squeezed out by not using win32con but to define the necessary constants directly in the code itself.</p>
