RE: [pygame] multiple key presses

[Chris Ashurst <CAshurst@xxxxxxxx>]

pygame.key.set_repeat(0)
 
I use that after I call pygame.init(), and it seems to do the trick for my
robotron remake.
 
However, I use it in conjunction with an event controller, which has two
entrypoints for KEYDOWN and KEYUP events. Once a key is pressed down, the
event sends a signal to another controller which alters the state of an
object corresponding to the event, and once the key is released, the same
thing happens, but reverts the object state back to its original value.
 
I can't explain for bollocks, so it's pseudocode time!
 
class KeyboardController:
 def poll_events(self):
  if event.type == KEYDOWN:
   if event.key == K_UP:
    FooGameObject.walk_around(True)
  if event.type == KEYUP:
   if event.key == K_UP:
    FooGameObject.walk_around(False)
    
...
 
class FooGameObject(Sprite):
 def __init__(self):
  self.am_i_walking = False
  
 def walk_around(self, state)
  self.am_i_walking = state
  
 def update(self, position)
  if self.am_i_walking:
   self.update_position(x, y)
 
(Assuming FooGameObject is an actual sprite, has a surface and so on, and
there's some sort of game clock looping and calling the update method on
FooGameObject and the poll_events method in KeyboardController on each
loop).
 
Man, I need to learn how to pseudocode (I wonder if there's an O'Reilly book
for it?)

Hi again,
I'm having problems with multiple key presses (i.e. more than 2).  I need at
least 6.  Is there a way to do that?
Thanks
Geo
