I'm a beginner at python and pygame. What would be a good condensed way to have a camera move with the play? (With the player being in the middle of the screen always) I've tried multiple things but they just don't work the way I want them to. Again I'm new so if it's a dumb question, let me know. Thanks in advance to anyone who bothers answering at all.
