Singularity 1.0 isn't able to start up on Debian 10 (Buster) #293
Description
I decided to try out the new release, but it doesn't seem to work on my system. I'm not sure if it's a documentation issue or something else; the readme just claims that Python 3 and Pygame are needed and seems to suggest that Pygame from the Debian repo should work and looking at the documentation the blits function (where the error happened) should be available in Pygame 1.9.4, but I get an error when I run the game:
$ ./run_singularity.sh

This is just with the versions of Python 3 and Pygame found in the Debian repo. (Numpy 1.16.2 is installed as well, the error doesn't suggest that Numpy is the problem but I checked just in case.
