The dummy package without the patch like is used in the package for xf86-video-dummy-with-vt will cause problems with the console and X session interaction. It might be a good idea to compile it manually and apply the patch.
For setup, Stormux has a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d. I don't think markdown is supported here, so the contents will probably not come out right, but here it is:
I installed xserver-xorg-video-dummy. Do you use the xorg.conf method to set x11 to use the dumby display, or a different one since that method is pretty well unsupported? Tried creating a file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and it crashed the desktop session.
Either this game doesn't like being run headless because Pygame, or something is wrong with the build.
I ran pip install -r requirements.txt --break-system-packages (which installed system packages in the user store rather than site packages).
Then pyinstaller on zombowl.spec.
The build appears successful. Now, I run in the Mate terminal ./zombowl.
I get the dreaded no available displays error. Even though hdmi-force-hotplug is set to 1 in the BTSpeak's /bott/config.txt. Does Pygame not work with that means of providing a dumby visual output?

xserver-xorg-video-dummy is the package in the Debian repository being used.
I installed xserver-xorg-video-dummy. Do you use the xorg.conf method to set x11 to use the dumby display, or a different one since that method is pretty well unsupported? Tried creating a file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d and it crashed the desktop session.
@jackf723 it does require a display. In Stormux, we use the xf86-video-dummy-with-vt package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-video-dummy-with-vt
Hopefully that will get it working for you.
