Re: [pygame] rookie q about Sprites

Hello Shandy and thanks for your point of view.

I actually made it work nicely, after a lot of coffee of course :)
Pimans tutorial is a masterpiece for the beginner, I found that one too and read it carefully.

Now on to next one, I'll try to make my pieces activate on mouseclick and then I'll move them around my chessboard. :)

Regards
Stefan
