I want to use raw user input from terminal to move a sprite using pygame, instead of using the key event listeners. Ultimately i want to be able to control the sprite via terminal issuing commands like "move up", "move left" and so on. Im trying to make an interactive terminal application that creates a pygame window as you type commands in the prompt, so you can see how everything is working. Is that possible? This is what I have attempted:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# draw a world
# add a player and player control
# add player movement
