Running

HankSmash requires PyGame to run. If you do not presently have PyGame and you are on a Debian-based system, run:

sudo apt-get install python python-pygame

Now:

1. Unpack HankSmash
2. Make hanksmash.py and hanksmash.6 executable: chmod +x hanksmash.py hanksmash.6
3. Launch the game: python hanksmash.py or python hanksmash.py --uppercase [for uppercase letters to be displayed instead of lowercase letters]

Important: to quit, type out the word quit

4. Optionally, you can choose to mute some or all of the sound effects in HankSmash.

   To mute only a specified noise, do python hanksmash.py --sound_blacklist data/sounds/.wav

    	NOTE: FILES.phm lists all sound and image files included in 
    	the data folder, complete with path.
   

   To mute all noise before the game even starts, do python hanksmash.py --sound_blacklist

   If you mute all noises before you begin, you will have to restart the program in order to use ANY noises. So, in many cases you may just want to type out

mute

to make it go silent and then 

unmute

to bring the sound back.

5. When your child or you are done with the program, type out the word

quit

Notes

Doodle Gum by imagex is used in this game.
