[pygame] Accounting for Pressed Keys

Hi everyone, I'm closer to solving my arrow key problem with regard to getting pyHook to snag the arrow keys first. I've blocked the four arrow keys, and I've used the block to put a KEYDOWN event on the Pygame queue. The problem, though, is that now Pygame receives a key down event several times

[pygame] pyHooking the Arrow Keys

Hi everyone, I wrote a little while back about how I wanted to tie the arrow keys specifically to my program so that they could be used exclusively for the program instead of being intercepted by a screen reader. I attempted to modify the code from the tutorial I found, but it is producing some

[pygame] Intercepting the Keyboard

Hello everyone, In creating audio-based games, I'm trying to make my programs work with major screen readers. The problem is that the industry leader, JAWS, likes to intercept keystrokes sent to the system. This means that if you build arrow key use into a pygame program, JAWS gets to your arrow

[pygame] RE: Intercepting the Keyboard

One more thing about this situation: Just after writing my previous email, I discovered pygame.event.set_grab(True). However, even when I set this to true outside of the main loop, I did not steal keyboard input from the screen reading software. In addition, I was still able to alt+tab out of the

[pygame] Substantial Lag

Hi everyone, I apologize in advance for posting 43 lines of code, but I can't figure out where on Earth the trouble is coming from. When I run this code, the keys do exactly what I'd like, but I'm noticing a delay of a few tenths of a second between when I press the key and when the sound of the

[pygame] Capturing Multiple Keyboard Inputs

Hello everyone, I am testing my understanding of the pygame.key module by creating a program that pans the sound of a car engine and raises/lowers its frequency. While the individual keys do exactly what they're supposed to, I run into a big problem when I try to do two things at once. For

Hello everyone, As I embark on this journey of learning Pygame and game design, I have one last burning question I haven't been able to find an answer to. I've heard that Python, as an interpreted language, isn't as fast as languages like C++. It follows, then, that Pygame would suffer the same
