Re: [pygame] Declaring variables in function as if at code's line-level

[Brian Brown <brobab@xxxxxxxxx>]

"line-level" is leftmost of the source code.
(I thought my example code would clarify that.)
My question is very clear, I think, I'm not sure why you guys are
having so much difficulty understanding it.
Sorry about that. I'm not trying to frustrate you, I just wish people
would answer my questions.
(I rarely get good answers on these mailing lists. I guess I made a
mistake asking here.)
Haven't I just given you one of the most profound statements of
efficient game programming?
Shouldn't you be grateful? Thank you for all your replies everyone I
guess I'm not wanted here.
