hello, Note, that with pygame 1.8 the scale function can take a destination argument.
pygame.transform.scale(Surface, (width, height), DestSurface = None): return Surface dest_surf = pygame.transform.scale(s, (w,h), dest_surf) This is way faster if you can reuse your destination surface - as it avoids a memory allocation. scale, scale2x, and the new smoothscale function all take destination arguments now. cheers, On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 5:59 AM, Ian Mallett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 3/19/08, Patrick Mullen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The OP was asking for the option to let users choose the resolution, > > so this isn't an option.
