I would like to have a full screen for the game I have
programmed regardless of the computer users screen resolution. Is their a way
from Python or livewires that I can get the info from the computer and then
enter it into the global SCREEN_WIDTH and SCREEN_HEIGHT?

The former: 3 on each side. Exactly 3.

get from riddle 6, compressing it with zlib, filtering out all but

Hah, yeah, but it also says 'all sides' and that had me following a

Take the challenge's hint a little more literally, it's quite
specific. This one had me stumped for a little while until I realized
my mistake.

I'd like to do something like (totally made-up name and syntax):

P.S. I realize that zipfile has commands, and zipinfo only seems to

information about the file in the archive: its filename, its comments,

Obviously. Or at least maybe not. If your program is well designed
its unusual to have more that a few global varoables so you could
in fact pass them in to each fuinctrion - but thats bad practice too.
