[Tutor] subprocess/files help

[Essah Mitges]

game runs fine out of the WODDS.py it when I start it from the menu lies the problemup-1.png is the first pic file used in the program so I'm guessing that all of the imported files from data have a problem if i took away up-1 up-2 would start a problem then side-1 and so on
