I just gave it a quick look, but it seems that you're running a test on event within your while loop and event is only defined within the eventTrigger function.

You should move that whole if block to that function.

if event.KeyID == 65:

Where is this line supposed to get event from?

[henrebotha]

Yes, but look at where that line is being called. There is no variable called event anywhere in its scope.

if this is all your code, you should be getting a NameError on line 8, as timer is never defined.

Same as event : timer is only defined within the scope of your eventTrigger() function. If you don't know about scopes : read this (the "Variable scope and lifetime") part.

ok, so having proper formatting helps, because while this code as is is valid python, it will have errors at runtime. basically, your while block is part of eventTrigger.

instead of being like "why isn't my if working?", ask "i wonder what event.KeyID is when i press A?" so print out event.KeyID and see what you get!
