How about using pygame.sprite? ( http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/sprite.html ) The class pygame.sprite.Sprite has a kill() function, which can remove itself from all groups that contains it. (A group is just like a list. Just see pygame.sprite.Group) And here is a short tutorial about this. http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/SpriteIntro.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
