[Tutor] Learning about callbaks

[Michael Bernhard Arp Sørensen]

Greetings, my masters.

This is somewhat difficult to transfer to my program with 2 classes/objects.
All examples I've seen is not for more than one instance of a single object.
I use more than one class in my program.

I have a game class and a menu class. When the user chooses "quit" in the
menu, I want the menu object to call a method that executes a quit_program()
from the game class. Obviously, menu is an object within the game object.

class UserInput(CommonBase):
    def __init__(self, queue, game):
        self.loop = 1
        self.queue = queue
        self.game = game

    def main(self):
        while True:
            tstr = raw_input("Input string: ")
            print "Input: ", tstr
            if tstr == "q":
                self.quitProgram()

    def quitProgram(self, game, quit_callback):
        self.loop = 0
        game.loop = 0
        quit_callback()

class Game(CommonBase):
    def __init__(self):
        self.loop = 1
        self.queue = Queue.Queue()

    def startUI(self, tid):
        ui = UserInput(self.queue, self)
        ui.main()

    def stoploop():
        self.loop = 0

    def main(self):
        thread.start_new_thread(self.startUI, (1,))

        while self.loop:
            try:
                data = self.queue.get(block = False)
            except Queue.Empty:
                pass
            else:
                pass
            time.sleep(0.1)

g = Game()
g.main()

It is so frustrating not to see the light. I feel that I'm close to
understanding the general idea. Allthough I might be wrong on that point.
:-)

I'm desperate.

Thanks in advance.
