how do i make this code continuously execute even after releasing the "x" key?

Question

I want the if statement to continuously execute the code beneath it, however I am unsure of what I should do. Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.

p.s sorry if my terminology is wrong as I am new to programming

key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if key [pygame.K_x]:
    screen.blit (bg, (0, 0))
    player.update()
    kivotos.draw()
    obusutakuru.update()

Answer 1

In a variable remember if the x-key has been pressed

# outside the game loop
xKeyPressed = False

.....

# inside the game loop
key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if key[pygame.K_x]:
    xKeyPressed = True

if xKeyPressed:
    screen.blit (bg, (0, 0))
    player.update()
    kivotos.draw()
    obusutakuru.update()
