Pygame MemoryError

Question

HI I wrote a simple block collection program that worked just fine and dandy until I added sound. Then all of a sudden, I get a MemoryError that I have never seen before.

my code comes with a sound (wav) file, which seems to be the problem. Any help would be great, and yes, the code and sound are in the same folder along with many other programs and pictures, etc.

import pygame import random import pygame.mixer winsound=pygame.mixer.Sound('winning.wav') collectsound=pygame.mixer.Sound('blip.wav') #Define colors black = ( 0, 0, 0) white = ( 255, 255, 255) red = ( 255, 0, 0) #Class represents ball, derives from Sprite class in pygame class Block(pygame.sprite.Sprite): #Constructor. Pass in the color of the block and its x and y pos. def __init__(self, color, width, height): # Call the parent class (Sprite) constructor pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self) # Create an image of the block, and fill it with a color. # This could also be an image loaded from the disk. self.image = pygame.Surface([width, height]) self.image.fill(color) # Fetch the rectangle object that has the dimensions of the image # image. # Update the position of this object by setting the values # of rect.x and rect.y self.rect = self.image.get_rect() # Initialize Pygame pygame.init() winsound=pygame.mixer.Sound('winning.wav') collectsound=pygame.mixer.Sound('blip.wav') #Set width and height of screen screen_width=700 screen_height=400 screen=pygame.display.set_mode([screen_width, screen_height]) pygame.display.set_caption('Block Attack!') #List of sprites. Each block is added to this list. List is managed by RenderPlain() block_list=pygame.sprite.RenderPlain() #List of every sprite all_sprites_list=pygame.sprite.RenderPlain() for i in range(50): #create instance of block block=Block(black,20,14) #set random location for the block block.rect.x=random.randrange(screen_width) block.rect.y=random.randrange(screen_height) #Add the block to the list of objects block_list.add(block) all_sprites_list.add(block) #Create red player block player=Block(red,20,15) all_sprites_list.add(player) done=False clock=pygame.time.Clock() score=0 #-------Main Program Loop------- while done==False: for event in pygame.event.get(): #User did something if event.type==pygame.QUIT: #If user clicked close done=True #Flag that we are done so we exit this loop #Clear screen screen.fill(white) #Get current mouse position. This returns the position as a list of two numbers pos=pygame.mouse.get_pos() #Fetch x and y out of list, like letters out of strung, set player object #to location of the mouse player.rect.x=pos[0] player.rect.y=pos[1] #Check if player block has collidied with anything...were still in a loop block_hit_list=pygame.sprite.spritecollide(player, block_list, True) #Check list of collisions. if len(block_hit_list) >0: score +=len(block_hit_list) print( score ) collectsound.play() elif score==50: print('YOU WIN!!\n') done=True winsound.play() #Draw all the sprites all_sprites_list.draw(screen) #Limit to 60 frames per second clock.tick(60) #Update screen pygame.display.flip() pygame.quit() 

So, when I run the code, I get an error

 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/zackbaker/Desktop/PythonFolder/BlockCollecter.py", line 4, in <module> sound=pygame.mixer.Sound('winning.wav') MemoryError 

Answer 1

I think you need to initialize the mixer first before using sounds.

 pygame.mixer.init(44100, -16, 2, 2048) # Read the docs to know what these numbers are
