I think the best help right now is the pygame list.

I would be glad to look at any code you think is appropriate
for pygsear.

Nope. This is the only list.

Basically just some unused code. I am still learning a lot of this
as I go along too  :o)

I changed this now, but I may rip it out altogether later...

Maybe. Is that a 2.3 thing?

My recent work was to try and unify path.position and
drawble.position as I think that makes it much cleaner.

There is a default size (the one set in pygsear.conf)

I think it is a good idea for every module to be able to know where
to look to find the size of the screen.

I am also working now to make it so pygsear.Game.GameConfiguration
can change the size of the screen and save it to some kind of user
preferences file.
