Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit keeps on hiding
I am not sure if it is the right place to ask but it seems to me it is something with the package install that goes wrong.
I have installed and uninstalled and installed again on two different computers but "Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit" will not start anymore. He was alive after install some weeks or months ago.
What can have happened to him, and will he soon be allowed to come out and play again.? :-)

Is this a serious post, or what? Because we don't appreciate jokes randomly scattered around the forum.

and have you tried running that from a terminal to see if there are any error messages?

Re: Bouncy the Hungry Rabbit keeps on hiding
The game is written in Python. Most likely when the last Python upgrade was released, the game was not upgraded accordingly and so now won't run.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;
In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

I am sorry I was sure it was a common problem because I tested it on two computers.

+1 on j2mcgreg .. and from the error that looks like confirmation.
