Re: [pygame] when pygame 1.8 will be released?
Why do you want the final release? I assume it's cause you want one that is fully testing and finished --- If you are willing to use a version that is not fully tested and finished, you can always use the latest Release Candidate If you want one that is fully tested and finished, then you can't get one until it's finished --- No matter what your expectations are, what I said above is reality. If you forced a specific release date, and released before it was finished, then the released version wouldn't be fully tested and finished, so you still wouldn't get what you want. I'd suggest you relax about the exact time. You're asking people to predict the future, and all people can ever give is their best guess. ...A better question may be what is still holding back the final release (i.e. what is not fully tested or what is not finished). Then you'd have a sense of the risk you'd be taking by using a release candidate, and also people would know how they can help to finish things sooner.

YOU'RE AWESOME! Thank you, I was trying to figure out how to do it,

Well, actually, after I finish all of the homework that's due tomorrow.

Re: [pygame] Newbie needs help, what's the most efficient (or easiest) way to do this?
I will not give you the code since you have stated this in an
assignment, but hopefully I can help.
You are correct that you will need an array, or a list in Python, to
store the strings. I would be more concerned with ease of programming
than efficiency, as this is a pretty straightforward and non-
demanding application.
So, with that said, you will want your Textsprite class to take a
list of strings instead of just a string. You can do this by saying:
a = Textsprite(["test string1", "another test!", "can you type this?"])
Now, in your textsprite class, you have a variable that stores the
index of the current letter. You will also have to store the index of
the current string, and replace all references of self.text with it,
as in self.text[self.current_string]. Now, when the user completes a
string, you can increment self.current_string and reset self.pos and
the next string will be presented.
I hope that this is helpful for you.
Cheers,
Brandon
