In the event handler detect KEYDOWN and KEYUP for the keys you're
interested in, and store the state in a variable. In the game logic
handler, if the variable indicates that the key is in the pressed state,
then do the action.
You can also poll the state of the keys with key.get_pressed(). But it
is less efficient than using the event handler.

Hi,
is it possible to set key_repeat only for some keys? I want move left
and move right to repeat after pressing, but all other keys to work
only once. How can I achieve that?
I was trying by doing something like this:
foreventinevents:
ifevent.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
ifevent.key == pygame.K_F5:
self.reset()
ifevent.key == pygame.K_F1orevent.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
self.running= notself.running
ifevent.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
brick.move(
(brick.position[0] - 1, brick.position[1])
)
pygame.key.set_repeat(100)
ifevent.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
brick.move(
(brick.position[0] + 1, brick.position[1])
)
pygame.key.set_repeat(100)
ifevent.key == pygame.K_xorevent.key == pygame.K_UP:
brick.rotate("right")
pygame.key.set_repeat(0)
ifevent.key == pygame.K_RCTRLorevent.key == pygame.K_z:
brick.rotate("left")
pygame.key.set_repeat(0)
ifevent.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
pygame.key.set_repeat(0)
self.game_state.hard_drop()
But that way if I click for example space and then try to move it
won't repeat.
