When you see the net take the shot
When you miss your shot shoot again
When you make your shot you win!

Just remember
Offense sells tickets
But defense wins championships!

Um, probably. Questions like what platform you're on become relavent.
If Unix, look at termios, os.read, etc. Or just use curses. On
windows, I'm told that the msvcrt module is useful but I don't use
windows & wouldn't really know.

Punctuation is nice. More please.
