Hi Lenard,
Thanks for the docs. I discovered that I had downloaded the installed back
on the 14'th. I can not remember if I had installed it but I think I did. I was
too busy recovering from my broken leg&ankle to pay attention. When you sent
this yesterday I had spent the day making my own .HTML file to reference all
the notes and this version has done that already.
Thanks for helping, but I noticed that complete methods may not be in all
the classes but will have to go through them all and test them out. I will ask
questions as I read/test and see what happens.
I am writing my games as a sightless user and will incorporate all the
methods I can as I learn them. I have never programmed in Class format yet
until doing the examples now. All my previous programming was done in either
Assembly, MASM, my screen reader program, or in Basic my first game, then C++
and using only struct statements as my closest thing to Class format. For I did
not have the SP2/Screen Reader capability to run stuff using Windows to deal
with the C++ Class structures and there constant changing to prevent it unless
you spend lots of money to catch up. The reason why I went to Java Script to be
able to write a game and actually run it on Windows. For Java used the
combination of Basic and C++ in its structure.
For I finally got a cross-reference on "self," which was the "this" version
written in Java Script for records/struct statements. By seeing, understanding
the similarities, then it made more sense besides testing and seeing results.
I am learning and studying examples as I go. I will try to use as many
comments as I can and also transfer my Java Script game over one function at a
time.
This is why I am striving for structured programming/tutoring. One step at
a time, waiting for the Windows version of PyGame accessibility to allow mouse
tracking by screen reader eventually.
Thanks again Lenard for taking the time to make the Windows version. I
think this is going to be fun learning now that I have gone past the stigma of
getting a better understanding of Class/Self construct. Knowing that all stuff
is just a memory location and pointers to the original. The rest is just copies
of the original and more depending how confusing you make it. The reason for
the Docs section of the function defined...that's if a person uses it to
explain the details.

The latest Pygame 1.8 is still in SVN. It hasn't been released yet. I
took it upon myself to build it for Windows. As posted earlier I made a
Windows installer available for Python 2.5:

The documents are in as a separate zip file:
