Oops, I forgot to mention that. I'm using raw_input() because I want
to focus on getting my game working before putting time into writing a
GUI. Without a GUI, the only way I can get user input is with
raw_input(). I'm working on my networking code, so I need to have
each game instance ask the user (i.e. myself) to host a new game or
join an existing game.
Use the pygame event filtering to block certain event types. Turn this
off and on around your input_raw call.
http://pygame.org/docs/ref/event.html#pygame.event.set_blocked
pygame.event.set_blocked(pygame.KEYDOWN | pygame.KEYUP)
value = raw_input()
pygame.event.set_blocked(None)
That code doesn't block the events. They still appear in the next
call to pygame.event.get(). Here is a script you can run to verify this:
*************************************
import pygame
pygame.init()
displaySurface = pygame.display.set_mode( (400, 300), 0 )
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
print event
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_s:
pygame.event.set_blocked(pygame.KEYDOWN | pygame.KEYUP)
value = raw_input("Type some stuff (include the 's'
character): ")
pygame.event.set_blocked(None)
print "You typed", value
pygame.display.flip()
