pygame.key.get_pressed() is not working

Question

I\'ve read similar questions to this on Stack Overflow but they have not helped. Here is my code:

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()
sc         


        

Answer 1

May I suggest using an event que instead? It's probably a better idea:

while True: #game loop
    for event in pygame.event.get(): #loop through all the current events, such as key presses. 
        if event.type == QUIT:
            die()

        elif event.type == KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == K_ESCAPE: #it's better to have these as multiple statments in case you want to track more than one type of key press in the future. 
                pauseGame()
