Hello! Thank you for reaching out to me :smile:

I just checked out the code and tried running it on my machine. It looks like even after those 5 years it still works. Currently I was able to run it on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Python 3.11 and pygame 2.6.0

I think that the instructions are not clear enough. After running file space_impact.py you have to type in the command line one of the letters - A, B or C and hit Enter. After that, when the start screen pop up, you have to press "Start" text. By that I mean the "Start" text on the center of the screen. If it won't work immediately, please try to click around it or change the resolution.

I also wanted to add that this project is really old (5+ years), and as it was my first programming project ever - it doesn't show proper programming practices I am afraid :smiling_face_with_tear:

It's really nice that you want to try it out but I would encourage you to learn about programming from better projects out there! :smiley:
