Poor event handling

[chimosky]

The game help shows that arrow keys are to be used but using them have no effect and this is seen in the logs.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Took a look and the activity doesn't handle events its expected to handle.

@jriyyya you might be interested in this.

Yes thanks 🙌, Will look into this after 3days, currently a bit busy.

I was not able to reproduce this issue, and also arrow keys are working fine with me

Strange, @quozl can you test?

Looking at the code, where did the number 323 come from, and has it changed since Sugargame was written? Should a Pygame constant or length be used instead? Actually, why does the initialisation of __keystate use a list of 323 zeroes, instead of the list of keys in mod_map? Perhaps transfer this to Sugargame repository too.

The sugargame in the activity needs to be updated, __init__ says its 1.3 but it's deviated from sugargame.
@jriyyya something worth noting.
