I am not 100% sure if this is the right forum to ask for some testers (if not the mods may move it to off-topic) but I've got an email from an user that told me the 64bit GNU/Linux build of my game RogueBox Adventures turns his screen black if he tries to start the game on his Debian9 system.
I don't know much more then this about this bug but I am afraid it happens to more people and scares them away from the game. On my system everything works fine.
I would love to have more feedback on this topic, so I would be very happy if some of you could test the 64bit build on their system and give tell me if it starts correctly.
Here is a download link: http://download.tuxfamily.org/rba/RogueBoxAdventures_v2_2_1_GNU%2bLinux_64Bit.zip

Thank you very much!

Tested here (Gentoo, profile default/linux/amd64/17.0/no-multilib): it started and worked without problems, both on window or fullscreen modes.

Archlinux
Linux 4.15.2-2-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux

I installed extra/python2-pygame 1.9.3-1 and aur/python-pygame 1.9.3-2

But ...

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

$ ./run
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import main

The file exists and I could reproduce it using ogg123, extra/libogg 1.3.3-2 is intalled too so ...

Hi! I've tested it on Ubuntu 16.04 and everything works like a charm.

Thanks to everybody so far!

@egberto
I am no expert for arch but it seem like you have some problems with a underlying lib that is used by pygame.
Maybe the version of pygame that I used for the build expacts another version of libogg?

You could try to navigate to the directory of RBA and type:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

python ./main.py

Does this work?

Yes, that works.

It's nice

Debian 8.7.1 x64, everything works perfectly.
Debian 9.3.0 x64, everything works perfectly. [upd]
P.S. Exactly the same problem with "run" binary. Main.py works fine thou.

I build the 64bit binary on a Ubuntu 16.4 system in a VM. Maybe it expacts exactly the same lib versions like on this system.
If someone has python + pygame on his/her *nix-system he/she can simply let the game create a launcher by running:

{l Code}: {l Select All Code}

python ./main.py -m

I need to mention this somewhere in the readme. I even made a howto about this: http://rogueboxadventures.tuxfamily.org/howto.htm
