Hello everyone,
I've been learning Python for about a year now, and I wanted to get more
seriously into developing audio games. I was told that Pygame is a good
package to look at, so I installed it on my machine and joined this list. On
looking at python.org, however, it appears as though there ha
Good to know. Thank you.

Hello everyone,
As I embark on this journey of learning Pygame and game design, I have one
last burning question I haven't been able to find an answer to. I've heard
that Python, as an interpreted language, isn't as fast as languages like
C++. It follows, then, that Pygame would suffer the same dr

So if you were to stream audio, would that eliminate the potenti
Hello everyone,
I am testing my understanding of the pygame.key module by creating a program
that pans the sound of a car engine and raises/lowers its frequency. While
the individual keys do exactly what they're supposed to, I run into a big
problem when I try to do two things at once. For example,

Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance for posting 43 lines of code, but I can't figure out
where on Earth the trouble is coming from.
When I run this code, the keys do exactly what I'd like, but I'm noticing a
delay of a few tenths of a second between when I press the key and when the

Clock.tick(fps) effectively sleeps your program to keep it running at
Hello everyone,
In creating audio-based games, I'm trying to make my programs work with
major screen readers. The problem is that the industry leader, JAWS, likes
to intercept keystrokes sent to the system. This means that if you build
arrow key use into a pygame program, JAWS gets to your arrow ke
One more thing about this situation:
Just after writing my previous email, I discovered
pygame.event.set_grab(True). However, even when I set this to true outside
of the main loop, I did not steal keyboard input from the screen reading
software. In addition, I was still able to alt+tab out of the w
Hi everyone,
I wrote a little while back about how I wanted to tie the arrow keys
specifically to my program so that they could be used exclusively for the
program instead of being intercepted by a screen reader. I attempted to
modify the code from the tutorial I found, but it is producing some rat
Hi everyone,
I'm closer to solving my arrow key problem with regard to getting pyHook to
snag the arrow keys first. I've blocked the four arrow keys, and I've used
the block to put a KEYDOWN event on the Pygame queue. The problem, though,
is that now Pygame receives a key down event several times a
