This is what I would do with your code :
1) Get used to using Superstrict it makes you define each variable. At first this is a pain but solves problems before they happen.
2) Move you Dude list into the Due type. It is more self-contained that way.
3) Have a Dude update function so you don't need to loop a list in the mainloop.
4) Have your create loop handle the number to create rather than your main code.
