amazing video, I can see this video being lengthened to 8 minutes whilst still being quick useful as heck. I honestly wouldn't mind.

hey just wondering is there a way to make the circle stop flickering

I'm actually making a fighting game in which the mouse is used for the directional inputs, first, I wonder if there's a way to track the mouse position even if it's not hovering over the screen, in fact, I really want to get the motion of it instead of the position because then it wouldn't be bound by even the size of the monitor, and it would let me set mouse sensitivity to anything I want, instead of what the computer offers, is there any way to track that raw motion?

Hello do you know how i can get the position and show the X coordinate and the Y of a sprite? Thanks you very much

[ThangHoang-flcg]

Is there any way to get the position x and position y of the mouse position?

i think you should have made short for this

i tried this but it doesn't work
pygame.draw.rect(surface, (255, 255, 255), pygame.Rect(mouseposition, 120, 30))

My computer is 10 years old and the latest python version i can run is 3.4.3 and no modules work when i try to install them. :(

I'm having second thoughts about learning Python now....
