Description

Having added a REPL (in #80), Pygame Zero's built-in objects can now be explored in the REPL. However, they do not generally have a defined __repr__.

For example,

>>> screen
<pgzero.screen.Screen object at 0x7fe27cb29208>

>>> keyboard
<pgzero.keyboard.Keyboard object at 0x7fe285085160>

Implementing this would make these more usable in the REPL.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add repr methods to the built in objects (e.g., Screen, Keyboard) in pgzero to display meaningful information instead of default object representation.
