Simple maze game controls

[OmegaSupreme]

My assignment is to create a simple maze game. So far everything is working, but i am unhappy with the movement of my sprite.

turtle.listen()
turtle.onkeypress(player.go_left,"a")
turtle.onkeypress(player.go_right,"d")
turtle.onkeypress(player.go_up,"w")
turtle.onkeypress(player.go_down,"s")

At the moment this code can make my sprite move using "w", "a", "s", "d" keys to move and you are able to hold down the key to continuously move. What i need help with is the sprite will move one "block" wait a second then start moving. I was wondering if there anyway to make it move as soon as the keys presses?


Sorry if there's any grammar or punctuation errors
