pySioGame - 0.2.3 - pre-alpha

Please note - this game is still unfinished - there are many things to complete but I believe it is playable.
Please let me know if you find any errors or bugs in the game.

The game is intended to be compatible with python 2.7.2+ including python3.x
Some changes made to make it compatible with python 2.5 as well - but recent version not tested
You need the python-pygame package installed in order to run it (and eSpeak which - most likely - you already have pre-installed).

To start the game from terminal:
python /home/user/path/to/the/game/pySioGame.py

#or using python3:
python3 /home/user/path/to/the/game/pySioGame.py

Possible start with double click if marked as executable or if you like you can create a custom launcher using one of the above lines for the command line field (obviously after changing the path to the program first). The pysiogame_icon_48.png file can be used as the icon.

Changelog:
- converted some of the .png files to .jpg format - where savings on space were possible - saved over 2MB
- completed* the letter flashcards - added new words and images - in some languages where I could not find a reasonable word the letter was left uncompleted) - done as much as I could without knowledge of the languages - may need some corrections.
- The multiplication/division games now additionally accept numbers typed on a keyboard as a faster method of response (type answer and press enter to confirm)
- added another Connect numbers game - but this time numbers are stacked vertically - makes more use of space if you have a wide-screen monitor.
- corrected pronunciation of Polish letters in the alphabet/letter games (ł,ń,ó,ś,w,z,ź,ż)
- added Touch Typing Tutor program - only available in English US and UK, Polish and Russian language versions 
    - sorry to other language speakers - I do not know how to guide someone to use different type of accents/diacritics - how to use dead keys and how to check if they have been pressed (if possible), etc. and on top of that how to do it so it works with multiple languages. So I guess I prefer not to do it than do it badly.
        - and for this reason this activity will remain unfinished - I have started it and realized that it is more like an idea for an entire standalone application rather than a small add-on to this game - but still did not want to throw away the work I have done on it so far.
        - the only thing I can do is to refer you to the programs far better than this one that are already freely available out there - ie. KTouch or Klavaro.
