Questions tagged [pygame-surface]

pygame object for representing images. Use this tag only if you are using the pygame library and not if you have a question about programming a game in python in general.

The most important part of pygame is the surface. Just think of a surface as a blank piece of paper. You can do a lot of things with a surface – you can draw lines on it, fill parts of it with color, copy images to and from it, and set or read individual pixel colors on it. A surface can be any size (within reason) and you can have as many of them as you like (again, within reason). One surface is special – the one you create with pygame.display.set_mode(). This ‘display surface’ represents the screen; whatever you do to it will appear on the user’s screen. You can only have one of these – that’s an SDL limitation, not a pygame one.

SVG rendering in a Pygame application. Prior to Pygame 2.0, Pygame did not support SVG. Then how did you load it?

In a Pygame application, I would like to render resolution-free GUI widgets described in SVG. How can I achieve this? (I like the OCEMP GUI toolkit, but it seems to be bitmap-dependent for its rendering.)

Why is my collision test always returning 'true' and why is the position of the rectangle of the image always wrong (0, 0)?

My collide_rect function isn't working properly. It always returns True, when it's not suppose to. I have tried looking on the internet but nothing is working for me. I think the collide rect somehow did not use the actual coordinates for the two…
