I've been watching a pygame tutorial on youtube on player movement, and by using this code below, the guy making the video was able to hold down a key and the character would keep moving, but when i hold down a key the character will move once and then stop. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Code:
import pygame
pygame.init()
win = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500))
pygame.display.set_caption("huge honkabonkaros")
x = 50
y = 440
width = 40
height = 60
vel = 5
run = True
while run:
pygame.time.delay(50)
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_LEFT]:
x -= vel
if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT]:
x += vel
if keys[pygame.K_UP]:
y -= vel
if keys[pygame.K_DOWN]:
y += vel
win.fill((0, 0, 0))
pygame.draw.rect(win, (255, 0, 0), (x, y, width, height))
pygame.display.update()
pygame.quit()

keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()and the following lines should not be in your event loop but in the outerwhileloop. -- Also, please make sure that your code is indented correctly when you post it here (select the code and press Ctrl+K to indent it once).
