Hey Jake,
You're putting your 'self.player.fire()' inside the 'for' block that's
processing your events.
Take your method #2 and put it outside of the 'for' block.
# code:
events = pygame.event.get()
for event in events:
# 1) this block doesn't seem to work right unless moving mouse:
(b1,b2,b3) = pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
if b1:
self.player.fire()
print 'down'
if event.type == MOUSEMOTION: pass
elif event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN: self.mouse.down = True
elif event.type == MOUSEBUTTONUP: self.mouse.down = False
#else, tried: 2)
if self.mouse.down:# or True:
self.player.fire()
print 'down
-Sean
p.s. is it called a for loop? for block? eh
