Setting up GUPB on MacOS

[pkardas]

If you encounter similar issue:

File "/Users/pkardas/Private/GUPB/gupb/view/render.py", line 24, in load_sprite
  sprite = pygame.image.load(path).convert()
pygame.error: File is not a Windows BMP file

Remove 'pygame' entirely (pip uninstall pygame) - note that there might be some files that were not removed, go to folder where you have your Python installed and remove anything that has 'pygame' in the name 😛

Run following command: [source]

brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi mercurial

Then you can install pygame.

If you encounter:

Unable to obtain graphics context for NSWindow (Mojave behavior)

after reinstalling pygame, do:

pip uninstall pygame

and then:

pip3 install pygame==2.0.0.dev6

Enjoy your game 🎉
