 All the pippy graphics examples I looked at hardcode
 {{{
 # XO screen is 1200x900
 size = width, height = 1200, 900
 }}}
 but that makes the activity resolution-dependent.  Bad for emulation, and
 on the XO if you rotate the screen, Bounce's word goes off the side, etc.

 I read http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html and it seems pygame
 defaults to full-screen and can determine display size.

 I've never written a line of Python before but this fixes the Bounce
 example to work rotated:
 {{{
 # Don't need to set a screen resolution (SDL 1.2.10 and above),
 # we can determine it dynamically (pygame 1.8.0 and above).
 if pygame.get_sdl_version() < (1, 2, 10) or pygame.version.vernum < (1, 8,
 0) :
   exit('Warning, version of Pygame too old,exiting!')

 screen = pygame.display.set_mode()

 # Ask for display's width and height.
 display = pygame.display.Info()
 size = width, height = display.current_w, display.current_h
 }}}

 or maybe better request the screen's size and width instead of the
 display's, so last two lines become (untested):
 {{{
 size = width, height = screen.get_size()
 }}}
