Hi,
I have a question that is mainly just curiosity.  When importing my
classes, I get an error if I do:
import character
It says something like module is not callable.
However, if I do:
from character import character
Then it works as expected.  My question is, what's the difference?  I
thought that you only needed to use from if you only wanted to import
part of a class file?
Also, is there a way to save and retreive simple .txt settings files?
Something like:
currentLevel=1
I did lots of googling and didn't come up with anything, so I thought I
would ask before trying to role my own.
Thanks for the help
PS  Oh, one last thing, does anyone have any experience with pygame?
