Include timidity in the image for midi in pygame

[KenT2]

timidity will allow midi to be played in pygame, this allows tetrimino to work in python-games

[KenT2]

With timidity installed three extra python games are available, however they need the same fix as was applied to wormy.

I've tried the fixes I made to the three python games on wheezy raspbian. They work fine.

I've put the files and the extended launcher on github to save you looking for them.

Thanks Ken, sorry I didn't include them. You might actually want to include the whole set of python-games in your repo and then I can use you as 'upstream'. Did you have any luck asking the author to incorporate your fixes?

[KenT2]

OK All the python games are now in the repo. I've downloaded them from github using the zip file method and have given the launcher a quick test. I found I needed to make launcher.sh executable.

I've just tried the latest raspbian image which has the tetris games in the menu. However the games do not work because timidity is not installed in the image. Is that something you can do in spindle or shall I try and modify the games to detect the problem and advise how to install timidity?

This issue appears to be still unresolved as of October 2013. See posting on the raspberrypi.org forum - http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=58534

It seems like poor PR for the RPi to have demos (presumably aimed at beginners) that cannot possibly run 'out of the box'.

Apologies, for the delay there, timidity is now installed by default.
