Pygame on Android
I was wondering if someone could give me a detailed explanation on how to run a game/app developed using Pygame on an Android phone. I recently finished programming PacMan and it works perfectly on my computer, but I think it would be awesome if I could get it running on my phone. I tried following the instructions at http://pygame.renpy.org/android-packaging.html, but every time i run "import android" on the IDLE I get an error saying it did not find the module. Could someone clearly explain how to set up the android module?
Also, in my program I used code such as if (event.key == K_UP or event.key == K_w): direction = UP. However there are no arrow keys on a phone. What code would I need to use to see if the user swiped the screen with their fingers from up -> down or left -> right, etc.
Any help would be great. Thanks <3

There is a pyGame subset for android. However this requires special reworking and changing the program. Hopefully it will not be to hard.
