syntax errors and logic errors are quite different beasts.
just because your syntax is correct doesn't mean your program does what 
you want it to,
just that it will do what you asked it to.

Don't do this.  Have moving be local to the function with your main game 
loop,
and pass it to keyin as an argument.  Global variables just confuse the 
issue.
Functions should be self-contained.
