I use pygame.key.get_pressed(). I usually use the state of the input
in question rather than deal with events. My generic input function
looks like:
def GetInput():
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT or (event.type == KEYDOWN and event.key
== K_ESCAPE):
pygame.quit(); sys.exit()
For your purposes, I now add:
if event.type == KEYDOWN:
text.append(event.key.name)
mpress = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
mpos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
All untested (on vaction without a laptop); hope it works!
Good luck,
Ian
