Pygame uses integers for its Rects and thus I advise much the opposite:
*never* store position in Rects.

Sorry, but it's true. You'll need to keep x and y around and try to use
Rects only when representing pixels on the screen. Pygame has a lot of
deficiencies with its default set of objects and functions, so it's
something to get used to.
