How to save input from a text box to a variable in python?

Question

I'm creating a simple game to try to learn pygame, and I currently have a game where the user controls a car and has to dodge trucks on a highway.

The game starts off pretty slowly, but I want to add an input box for the user to set their own starting speed.

I know how to make working buttons, but I would rather have a text input that saves to a variable as an integer.

Can anyone help with this?

I tried some script I found on the internet, but it didn't work — Krystian Ochot, Jan 25 '18 at 11:55

Then use:
