Discussion

Turned out that the BasicSprite.py code existed both in the codebase, and in a subdir in the examples directory. Both were modified to fix the bug.

For consistency, the messages passed/understood were changed from "pause" terminology to match the new "freeze" terminology too - so SimpleGame.py needed modification too.
