Bug Description

Binary package hint: slingshot

What I did:
I started the game "Slingshot".

What I expected to happen:
The game should open so I can play it.

Confirmed. When I attempt to run the game on Ubuntu Natty a blank window shows for a short while before it closes. I tried to run the game from the terminal, but didn't print any errors.

Changed in slingshot (Ubuntu):

The game runs with Python 2.6 . To run with Python 2.7 I made a branch with the patch found here:

Slingshot still crashes on 11.10. There is no output when starting from a terminal. Not sure how to troubleshoot...
