    <p>You can get the events from pygame and then watch out for the <code>KEYDOWN</code> event, instead of looking at the keys returned by <code>get_pressed()</code>(which gives you keys that are currently pressed down, whereas the <code>KEYDOWN</code> event shows you which keys were pressed down on <em>that frame</em>). </p> <p>What's happening with your code right now is that if your game is rendering at 30fps, and you hold down the left arrow key for half a second, you're updating the location 15 times.</p> <pre><code>events = pygame.event.get() for event in events: if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT: location -= 1 if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT: location += 1 </code></pre> <p>To support continuous movement while a key is being held down, you would have to establish some sort of limitation, either based on a forced maximum frame rate of the game loop or by a counter which only allows you to move every so many ticks of the loop.</p> <pre><code>move_ticker = 0 keys=pygame.key.get_pressed() if keys[K_LEFT]: if move_ticker == 0: move_ticker = 10 location -= 1 if location == -1: location = 0 if keys[K_RIGHT]: if move_ticker == 0: move_ticker = 10 location+=1 if location == 5: location = 4 </code></pre> <p>Then somewhere during the game loop you would do something like this:</p> <pre><code>if move_ticker &gt; 0: move_ticker -= 1 </code></pre> <p>This would only let you move once every 10 frames (so if you move, the ticker gets set to 10, and after 10 frames it will allow you to move again)</p>

    1. COI tried to use this but the problem was that it only moved if I pushed the button at the exact moment pygame was looking for that event. It wouldn't move when I wanted it to.

    2. COWell you have to inspect your events on each update of your game loop. Were you doing this? Events will stay in Pygame's event queue until you read them or pump them.

    3. CODan, this answer is exactly what you asked for, but keep in mind that using events you won't be able to continuously move your ship that you might want if you are able to control the speed. You could keep you original code and once you detect a key pressed, you can easily ignore the pressed buttons for N loops.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
