Moving an object by user input

[GKRAFT]

I'm looking for a tutorial (preferably with livewires) or some sort of documentation on how to control an object with user input.

Basically what i want to do is move an object with the arrow keys.

Any suggestions?

In the book I have, Python for the Absolute Beginner, it's done something like this. The object has a member named screen, which is a reference to the main Screen object.

def moved(self):
    x, y = self.get_pos()
    if self.screen.is_pressed(games.K_LEFT):
        x -= 1
    if self.screen.is_pressed(games.K_UP):
        y -= 1
    if self.screen.is_pressed(games.K_RIGHT):
        x += 1
    if self.screen.is_pressed(games.K_DOWN):
        y += 1
    self.move_to(x, y)

I hope this helps.

Used that code and added

self.init_mover (dx=0, dy=0)

and it works perfectly.

Thanks man!
