Installation of PyGame on Windows: Start by closing any IDLE or Python window that might be open. This could include the shell or the program itself. Click on the Start menu and open IDLE. Pygame for windows.

In Hello World we used the following line to create a Pygame window: screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480), 0, 32)

Mar 23, 2021 Once we make a change to a sprite’s position in the Pygame window, many people call the pygame.display.flip or the pygame.display.update function. The problem here is that you are refreshing the entire window for every change you make. This has a significant hit on performance. In short, you need to do two things. Closing the window We want our window to persist until the user chooses to closes it. To achieve this, we monitor user inputs (known as 'events') using pygame.event.get. This function returns a list of events which we can loop through and check to see whether any have the type QUIT.

The first parameter is the size of the window we want to create. A size of (640, 480) creates a small window that will fit comfortably on most desktops, but you can select a different size if you wish. Running in a window is great for debugging, but most games fill the entire screen with the action and don't have the usual borders and title bar. Full-screen mode is usually faster because your Pygame script doesn't have to cooperate with other windows on your desktop. To set full-screen mode, use the FULLSCREEN flag for the second parameter of set_mode:

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480), FULLSCREEN, 32)

■Caution If something goes wrong with your script in full-screen mode, it can sometimes be difficult to get back to your desktop. Therefore, it's best to test it in windowed mode first. You should also provide an alternative way to exit the script because the close button is not visible in full-screen mode.

When you go full screen, your video card will probably switch to a different video mode, which will change the width and height of the display, and potentially how many colors it can show at one time. Video cards only support a few combinations of size and number of colors, but Pygame will help you if you try to select a video mode that the card does not support directly. If the size of display you ask for isn't supported, Pygame will select the next size up and copy your display to the center of it, which may lead to black borders at the top and bottom of your display. To avoid these borders, select one of the standard resolutions that virtually all video cards support: (640, 480), (800, 600), or (1024, 768). To see exactly what resolutions your display supports, you can use pygame.display.list_modes(), which returns a list of tuples containing supported resolutions. Let's try this from the interactive interpreter:

>>> import pygame >>> pygame.init() >>> pygame.display.list_modes()

[(800, 600), (1280, 1024), (1280, 960), (1280, 800), (1280, 768), (1280, 720), (1152, 864), (1088, 612), (1024, 768), (960, 600), (848, 480), (800, 600), (720, 576), (720, 480), (640, 480), (640, 400), (512, 384), (480, 360), (400, 300), (320, 240), (320, 200), (640, 480)]

If the video card can't give you the number of colors you asked for, Pygame will convert colors in the display surface automatically to fit (which may result in a slight drop in image quality).

Listing 3-4 is a short script that demonstrates going from windowed mode to full-screen mode. If you press the F key, the display will fill the entire screen (there may be a delay of a few seconds while this happens). Press F a second time, and the display will return to a window.

Listing 3-4. Full-Screen Example background_image_filename = 'sushiplate.jpg'

import pygame from pygame.locals import * from sys import exit pygame.init()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480), 0, 32) background = pygame.image.load(background_image_filename).convert()

Fullscreen = False while True:

for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type QUIT: exit()

Pygame Window Closing Automatically Change

Fullscreen = not Fullscreen if Fullscreen:

Pygame Multiple Windows

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640 else:

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640

screen.blit(background, (0,0)) pygame.display.update()
