Re: [pygame] Newbie needs help, what's the most efficient (or easiest) way to do this?

Oh, and Luke, the game will be Open Source. So go ahead and modify it
for DVORAK or whatever. Do you really need to do that though? won't it
work fine with any kind of keyboard? Well, aside from the moving
parts. That would need modification for different keyboard types.

When I said "shoot-em-up" game I meant Touhou or R-type or something like
that, not a First Person Shooter, which is an entirely different concept.
And the combo thing is for scoring, but since the combo will only be
increased by how you type, it wouldn't make sense to have it be a global
variable.
