Re: [pygame] keyboard input and mouse

[Jacob Schwartz <kevlarx@netidea.com>]

   After you handle specific events, you should clear the event queue 
of all others. (Seeing as how you arent using them.)
I'm guesing the queue is getting filled up with unhandled, uncleared 
mouse move events.

My event handling code looks like this:

in game loop:
       # Handle user input.
       InputHandler.update()   # < --- this does the pygame.event.get 
for keydown events.
      
       # Handle quit event (generated by closing pygame window, etc)
       if pygame.event.get([QUIT,]):
           return False
          
       # Clear all other events from the queue.
       pygame.event.clear()


Hope that helps,
         -  Jacob
