I'm afraid I can't help you there. Check out the docs for the getkey function and see if it can be put into non-blocking mode; if not, you may have to completely change your model. For instance, if I were writing this sort of game today, I'd probably use a GUI system that fires an event whenever a key is pressed/released, and then have a timer-tick for the descent, rather than explicit sleep() calls. But it depends on your UI facilities. The LANDER.BAS that I played with - yes, it was written in BASIC - was fully prompt-driven. To move to the next time unit, you had to answer all its prompts. Advantage: No need to code a Pause feature. Disadvantage: The game ended up way too scientific, like D&D combat. (It's amazing how your party of bumbling characters suddenly become lightning-fast strategists as soon as initiative is rolled!) ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
