Hi again, I've been checking the suggestions and they are all very informative, but I am still somewhat stuck. I was a bit unclear formulating my question - but thanks anyway for your previous answers. Ok, so what I want to do is: make pygame play a song, and while it is playing, record my keystrokes (so instead of having a program deciding what to press when, I will do it). Then I want to be able to playback my keypresses so the player has to be repeat them when playing. So I guess I am aiming at some kind of level editor for rhythm games, maybe?
But looking at your examples, I have another doubt: what if I want to tie specific input to a specific event in the game, and measure how precise that input was, to give points? For example, I trigger an animation based on random numbers - that animation has a number of stages: depending on which stage the player provides the required input, they are rewarded with points. Does this make any sense? (I am thinking typing-rhythm games here, of course :) Sorry for being a pest, and thanks for the help!
