[pygame] Re: pygame key repeat

[Peter Shinners <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your code looks ok. I'm not too framiliar with the key repeating. It is 
something SDL provides, but I don't think many people use it. For my 
projects I usually just track when the arrow keys are pressed and 
released. Then every frame I can check which keys are being held down 
and move appropriately.

Check out the "aliens" example that comes with Pygame. It shows exactly 
what you want.
