Oh, and it would be nice if you would highlight the ship after it was shot
by the other ship. E.g., a red ring around the ship or something. I needed
too long to find it in the space, especially if there was a far distance between
the two ships.

Hi list!
Can anyone point me to a tiny little network library that
I can use to add multiplayer to my pong-game? Any recommendations?
I know twisted, but it would be great if the lib is easy to use
since I'm a beginner in network programming. So twisted would
be surely an overkill in this case.
Looks similar to http://www.scriptedfun.com/pygame-starfield-rain/

I'm just wondering *what* causes the nearly 100% cpu time.
Currently, there's only the player-ship and one enemy on the screen.

Hey guys,
I've tested the game under linux and there it simply doesn't run. =)
I blit each object at each frame to the screen. This cannot be good.
But... it is efficient to use dirty rects in a space shooter? Everything
is moving and floating around... especially if there is a moving starfield.

Im currently creating my first game. A simple space shooter.
I have set the frame rate to to 60 with pygame.clock.tick(), but
the game uses more than 90% of my CPU time. That's a problem,
because there is almost nothing on the screen yet (just three ships...).
