Place the image file in the same directory as the Python file. Change the current working directory to the directory of the file. The name and path of the file can be get by __file__. The current working directory can be get by os.getcwd() and can be changed by os.chdir(path): import os sourceFileDir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) … Read more
There are two types of animation: frame-dependent and time-dependent. Both work in similar fashion. Before the main loop Load all images into a list. Create three variable: index, that keeps track on the current index of the image list. current_time or current_frame that keeps track on the current time or current frame since last the … Read more
Ensure that the background Surface has the same format as the display Surface. Use convert() to create a Surface that has the same pixel format. That should improve the performance, when the background is blit to the display, because the formats are compatible and blit do not have to do an implicit transformation. bg = … Read more
All you have to do is to load an image: my_image = pygame.image.load(‘my_image.png’).convert_alpha() And blit it an top of the rectangle: def button(x, y, w, h, ic, ac, img, imgon, action=None): mouse = pygame.mouse.get_pos() click = pygame.mouse.get_pressed() rect = pygame.Rect(x, y, w, h) on_button = rect.collidepoint(mouse) if on_button: pygame.draw.rect(screen, ac, rect) screen.blit(imgon, imgon.get_rect(center = rect.center)) … Read more
You don’t need to change the background color of the image to the background color of the window, but make the background of the image transparent. Set the transparent colorkey by pygame.Surface.set_colorkey: Set the current color key for the Surface. When blitting this Surface onto a destination, any pixels that have the same color as … Read more
You have to clear the display in every frame with pygame.Surface.fill: while True: # […] screen.fill(0) # <— main.draw_elements() main.move_ball() main.ball.x_pos += main.ball.speed pygame.display.flip() # […] Everything that is drawn is drawn on the target surface. The entire scene is redraw in each frame. Therefore the display needs to be cleared at the begin of … Read more
In PyGame, basic collision detection can be done using pygame.Rect objects. The Rect object offers various methods for detecting collisions between objects. Note that even the collision of a rectangular object with a circular object such as a paddle and a ball in Pong game can be roughly detected by a collision between two rectangular … Read more
