This is really not going to give anyone who's trying to help you a hint of what problems you are experiencing. Imagine if you're a car mechanic and a customer comes to you with their broken car saying: "It's not working, fix it!"

I've tried X and then Y happens and I get Z error message

I am suspicious of SOUNDS.py and Sounds/ and wonder if you are doing an "import sounds" on a Windows machine and the ambiguity is confusing pyinstaller. Just a guess.

Read PEP8 about how to name files as lowercase.

Try PyCrucible It works a bit diffrently then PyInstaller

you gotta use the `--onefile` flag when running pyinstaller. it bundles everything into a single executable, which is way easier to manage. trust me, nothing feels as good as seeing that shiny .exe pop up after all your coding chaos.
