Just started a Python course at my school, and our first assignment requires us to write out text on multiple lines. I still cannot figure out how to do so with my code so if anyone could help, that'd be great. Code posted below. 

import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()

pygame.display.set_caption('font example')
size = [640, 480]
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

myfont = pygame.font.SysFont(None, 48)
text = myfont.render('My Name', True, (0, 0, 0), (255, 255, 255))
textrect = text.get_rect()
textrect.centerx = screen.get_rect().centerx
textrect.centery = screen.get_rect().centery

screen.fill((255, 255, 255))
screen.blit(text, textrect)

pygame.display.update()

while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        pygame.quit()
        sys.exit()

clock.tick(20)

  • Hi @Damon. The code you provided has an indentation error (see the `for` loop that goes beneath the `while True` loop). Could you please update it so that it runs without errors? That can speed up the feedback you'll get for this question. – Daniel Ruiz Mar 11 '18 at 20:15

  • Use a `for` loop to blit one line after the other and increment the y-coordinate each time. – skrx Mar 11 '18 at 21:18

simply you can start new line after each print or sys stdout stream output by specify "\n" (ex: print ("hello" + "\n" then your application will write to diffrent lines

    The question does not refer to the console, but to how the text is printed in the window. Your solution does not respond to the OP. – eyllanesc Mar 11 '18 at 21:02
