We have slightly improved the sample code by making the image turn when holding down one of the keys instead of having to press and release the key.

The previous recipe, PyGLet transforms our GUI easier than PyOpenGL, explains how to install PyGLet and gives you an introduction to this library. If you have not done so, it is probably a good idea to browse through that recipe.

Note

In the online documentation, PyGLet is usually spelled in all lower-case. While this might be a Pythonic way, we capitalize the first letter of a class and...
