Quick Python lesson from Rasperry Pi:
Daley Thompson’s Decathlon
Released in 1984, Daley Thompson’s Decathlon was a memorable entry in what’s sometimes called the ‘joystick killer’ genre: players competed in sporting events that largely consisted of frantically waggling the controller or battering the keyboard.

These numbers are small, as they represent the number of metres per frame that the player accelerates and decelerates.
