Hi,
Thanks for all your replies!
I've been looking through the http://www.nongnu.org/pygsear/
tutorials. When I ran the example games i found out that some of them (like
pygsaw and pathmaker) are VERY slow, and when i downloaded pete's game
solarwolf (which is way much complicated) it worked just fine with no
slowdowns at all. Is this because of all the modules that pygsear uses?
By the way that "forward, down" thing doesn't really work for me, I need
some real code to work with (like the python.org tutorials), I remember we
used to have a program like that in school in grade 4, that's when I became
interested in programming...

Mike
P.D: solarwolf is awesome! how long have you worked on it? or how long have
you been a programmer?
P.D: i won the game in 30 min but still...

Good advice.

http://www.python.org/doc/Newbies.html is an excellent place
too. Actually all the documentation at python.org is quite
good.

Don't forget to tinker with a python interactive shell
as you learn features of the language and when you come across
something you don't completely understand in whatever
documentation/tutorial you're reading.  Actually working with
the language will teach you volumes more than just reading
docs.  Good luck.
