add voice selection for SAPI 5

Hello,
Can you add voice selection for sapi 5 to screaming strike? It'd be very good for those of us who play the game suing SAPI 5.
Thanks

Can't execute script SS successfully

I tried making some mods for fun and then trying to build and run the moddet game.
When running "python tools\build.sh" everything goes fine, but when running the generated play.exe i get an error.
I tried building the clean source with no modifications, and that failed too.

Penetration is not working

please add speech interrupt support to SAPI 5

Hello,
Can you please add speech interrupt to the game? What I mean by that is SAPI doesn't interrupt what it is spkeagin when I press any key. For example, when I press 2 to start an arcade game, it still reads the main menü and I am annoyed because I have to listen to it speaking. Try putting NVDA in sleep mode and play the game, press the arrow keys in the menus etc. You'll get what I mean. I am using narrator so I need this in order to play the game officiantly.
Thanks

Built-in scoreboards view only shows top 10 scores

Add python 3.7 requirement to readme

Currently, 3.8.x is unsupported. I thought I had written that in readme, but there was nothing explained actually.

Settings not saved when exiting

The game doesn't run

Hello,
The game doesn't run when I try to start play.exe. I am running Windows 10 64-bit with narrator. When I click play.exe, nothing happens.

Erasing highscores makes the game crash

Sapi5 speech interrupt

Hello,
Sapi5 does not interrupt speech, this makes players who use narrator on windows 10 have difficulty playing the game.
