Hello Bob,
BG: I am looking for the command line program (Linux and Windows) to
speak text from a file or from stdin.
Do you know where it is or how one gets it?

Hello Peter,
Thank you this is much appreciated! It is much clear now. Thank you
PO: Also, if you make it a habit to keep long option and dest in sync
(something you get for free if you only specify the option) you can
deduce the attribute name used in the script from its commandline
interface.
I was recently given this task. it's a very IBM mainframe specific task so
I'm not sure how to find equivalent terms in another environment. I will
just use the mainframe terminology and hopefully y'all can figure out what
I mean.

The program keeps telling me that the __init__ in Rock takes two arguments and
only one is given. Ideas?
The point of the game is to dodge falling rocks. Two more appear every time one

Yes. You need to look at the arguments required when you construct a Rock()
