Great, so it can really do side scrolling games, just be sure to use
the well known ColorKey.
    How about the dirt rectangles? What bug happened?

about segfault, in my pc it doesn't fail and I don't close anything,
this game should run forever. I can not see any cause to this,
probably it's the bindings :-( Send me a traceback in pvt.
   Also, my game have no sound :)

maybe it's related to the same bug in my, probably the bindings.
