I am a student, but my first (and only) assignment regarding Battleship was a couple years ago, in Java, and ran at the command line. I have taken on its updating, translation (well, I am really just writing it from scratch again, but in Python), and adding a gui as a summer project; my own time, no assignment at all. In fact, I am done with classes until September (thankfully) and all next year will very probably not include any actual programming at all (more computer theory and math...) > As for the crtl-down, that doesn't appear to > be Pygame.

I will turn off my screen reader and see if it does the same thing. When I implemented a navigation system much like this in Python last year I had no trouble, but who knows what updates will do do small things like this? I will also triple-check my movement functions (nav.py) but they should be correct, and definitely should not be moving me out of the pygame window entirely. > > Lenard > > DR0ID wrote: >> On 21.05.2010 22:14, Alex Hall wrote: >>> Well, it was not doing anything anyway, so I commented it out.
