pygame: transparency question
Hello, I have a surface that I load an image onto. During a collision I would like to clear out the images of both surfaces that collided and show the score. Is there a function call to clear a surface with an image? One way I was thinking was to fill the surface with a color and then set that color as the colorkey. Is this the only way or does pygame have a function to make the whole surface transparent? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Help doing it the python way
Hello, I am an experienced programmer but a beginner to python. As such, I can figure out a way to code most algorithms using more C style syntax. I am doing something now that I am sure is a more python way but i can't quite get it right. I was hoping someone might help. So I have a list of grid coordinates (x, y). From that list, I want to create a new list that for each coordinate, I add the coordinate just above and just below (x,y+1) and (x,y-1) right now I am using a for loop to go through all the coordinates and then separate append statements to add the top and bottom. is there a way to do something like: [(x,y-1), (x,y+1) for zzz in coord_list] or something along those lines? thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
pygame.Rect question
Hello, I am new to Python and began using pygame to start some game programming. I was hoping someone could help me out with something that seems simple but is really confusing me. I am creating a rect and then using the attributes of the rect to set the size and location. I set rect.left to 30, rect.top to 30 and rect.width = 20 This works fine. However, when looking at rect.right() it shows that it is equal to 50. I suppose this is equal to 30+20. However, since the first pixel is on location 30, wouldn't the 20th pixel be on 49 (not 50)? Am I missing something here? It is really confusing me when I am doing some collision algorithms. Any help? Thanks, Scott -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
