Unless you are brand spanking new to computers and programming, or really

I would also suggest looking at the example programs that are installed
with Pygame in pygame\examples. You can run them directly like this:
python -m pygame.examples.aliens
for example. They show how different pygame features work. Also, just

some friends of my Mom, but if I can't find one that wayI'll probably
ask people on this list. I just need someone to answer a question every
couple of days. I really appreciate your help. Thanks again!
