The problem in the code you originally posted is probably that the
event queue is getting full since you only grab certain events out of
it (probably from MOUSEMOVE events). Use event.set_blocked to filter
out the events that you don't need and just call event.get(). Not sure
if this will affect the MOUSEUP problem in your revised code, though.

Re: Not getting mouse up event

I don't see event.getkeys() in the documentation. Can you tell me where to find it? On Monday 29 November 2004 03:10 am, andrew baker wrote: > It sounds like you need to pump the event queue.

Re: Not getting mouse up event

Austin Haas wrote: The keyboard events will come through fine, but the MOUSEBUTTONUP will not be picked up until I move the mouse, or press another button. The instant I move the mouse, it fires, even if I had released it moments ago. It only seems to lock up if I hold the button down for ~8+ seconds. There is an example program that comes with pygame called "eventlist". This opens a window and simply logs all pygame events as they show up. Try doing the same operations and see how the mouse messages show up. If it seems ok in the example then I suspect your multiple event.get calls. In any event, after getting all your event sorted you should call pygame.event.clear() to get rid of other things that may be building up on the queue. (Also, the cursor page in the online documentation is NOT FOUND.) check.

Re: Not getting mouse up event

I tried 'pump,' but it didn't help. I don't totally understand 'pump,' but what I gather from the documentation is that, so long as you are making a call to 'event' every tick, then you don't need it. I am using Gentoo Linux and Pygame 1.6.1. Also, the code I submitted was new, right before I mailed it, and I found that it was also causing the input to frequently lock up. The game would be running, but after a few seconds, all input, including clicking on the 'x' in the window, would be disabled. I can't understand why. Here's that code again: key_ups = [event.key for event in pygame.event.get(KEYUP)] mouse_ups = [event.button for event in pygame.event.get(MOUSEBUTTONUP)] key_downs = [event.key for event in pygame.event.get(KEYDOWN)] mouse_downs = [event.button for event in pygame.event.get(MOUSEBUTTONDOWN)] if K_ESCAPE in key_downs or pygame.event.peek(QUIT): sys.exit() I changed it back to this: key_ups = [] key_downs = [] mouse_ups = [] mouse_downs = [] for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit() elif event.type == KEYUP: key_ups.append( event.key ) elif event.type == KEYDOWN: if event.key == K_ESCAPE: sys.exit() else: key_downs.append( event.key ) elif event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN: mouse_downs.append( event.button ) elif event.type == MOUSEBUTTONUP: mouse_ups.append( event.button ) ...but this hasn't had any affect on my original, not getting mouse up, issue. -austin On Monday 29 November 2004 03:10 am, andrew baker wrote: > It sounds like you need to pump the event queue.
