Pygame - Moving with Numeric Pad Keys

If we want to effect diagonal movement of an object on game window, we need to use numeric key pad keys. While keys 4,6,8 and 2 correspond to left, right, up and down arrows, num keys 7, 9, 3 and 1 can be used to move the object in up-left, up-right, down-right and down-left diagonal movements. These keys are identified by Pygame with following values −

K_KP1       keypad 1
K_KP2       keypad 2
K_KP3       keypad 3
K_KP4       keypad 4
K_KP5       keypad 5
K_KP6       keypad 6
K_KP7       keypad 7
K_KP8       keypad 8
K_KP9       keypad 9

Example

For left, right, up and down arrow press, x and y coordinates are incremented/decremented as before. For diagonal movement, both coordinates are changed as per direction. For instance, for K_KP7 key-press, both x and y are decremented by 5, for K_KP9 x is incremented and y is decremented.
