🚀 3 easy tricks to get better performance with Pygame - Python Gamedev

[FinFET]

You can use pygame.SCALED as argument when setting up the display, this is way better that blitting to a surface and upscaling it manually.
I also redid the tests on the web, blitting each sprite 1000 times and the framerate went from something like 16 fps with convert_alpha() to 32 fps with set_colorkey()
(I'm testing on a steam deck)

Can python handle an online game like RuneScape ? Or would that be a bad idea?
