Hi Christoph,

I go through all pygame events... therefore making sure, that alle events are removed from the queue every time I call the for loop (almost every frame)

Andrew: Do you recommend it to do it like I did now (event queuing and going through all events) or would you recommend state checking as :
mouse.get_pressed([0]) #if right mouse button is right now down

My understanding is that the get_pressed() type methods add extra latency, so you're better to get all the events yourself.

You may be interested in event filtering, for example:

pygame.event.set_allowed(None) #allow no events
pygame.event.set_allowed(MOUSEBUTTONDOWN) #only allow buttondown

Cheers!
Andrew
