Re: [pygame] Problems with events and keys

["Charles Christie" <sonicbhoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh wait, what I was thinking for was something completely different. I actually have no clue on how to restrict the textsprite class to only accept letters, numbers and keypad strokes simply and cleanly. I could just go and make a looooooong if/else statement that either has all the keys I want or all the keys I don't want to respond to... either way looks really long and painful >.<

Please let me rephrase my question: Is there a clean way to make my program only accept letters, numbers and number pad input and ignore everything else?

I'll fix the timer thing after I figure this out:

In my code, it accepts any keystroke. How do I make it so that the textsprite class only accepts letters, numbers and numberpad input? I know there's a way to do that but I forgot how... Does anybody know what python doc that is in?

Uh.... Good question. :P Time to go look at the documentation again!
But I'll do that tomorrow, it's getting kinda late.
