[PyGame] Pong game key.event problem

[erickDarko]

if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:

this checks for a single event, not consistently holding down a key.

Put this not within the event loop but in the main game loop

keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_UP] or keys[pygame.K_w]:
    pass
#etc.

Thanks
