Thank you for the video, it's very helpful). But I don't understand why fill is better than rect ??

[artistella]

do i have to define the colours in variables every time i use one? if so that would be so so so frustrating

hey, man. I'd like to create a checkerboard but the code isn't working properly. The code is the following:

import pygame

pygame.init()
gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 800))



def square(x, y, w, h, color):
pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay, color, [x, y, w, h])


def createBoard():
xpos = 0
ypos = 0
color = 0
width = 100
height = 100
black = (180, 137, 60)
white = (255, 255, 255)
number = 0
print(color, number, (xpos, ypos))

for i in range(8):
for j in range(8):
if color % 2 == 0:
square(xpos, ypos, width, height, white)

else:
square(xpos, ypos, width, height, black)


xpos += 100
color += 1
number += 1
print(color, number, (xpos, ypos))

xpos = 0
ypos += 100


print(color, number, (xpos, ypos))

gameDisplay.fill((255, 255, 255))
createBoard()




quitGame = False

while not quitGame:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
quitGame = True
pygame.quit()
quit()

How do you make an object disappear and appear in pygame

[femylijo]

I am not able to do it i think it is because I add a background image rather than a color.

The box isn't showing for me.

import pygame

pygame.init()

gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((1280, 720))


#pygame.display.update()

white = (255, 255, 255)
black = (0, 0, 0)
pygame.draw.rect(gameDisplay, black, [640, 360, 25, 25])
gameDisplay.fill(white)




gameExit = False

while not gameExit:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
gameExit = True;

pygame.display.update()



pygame.quit()
quit()

[netherlillyarts]

 get an error that says gameDisplay not defined .... what does that mean?

Anyways, I am doing this on 3.2, your tutorial for installing Pygame had me scouring the web for hours looking through tutorials before finally installing python 3.2 and the compatible pygame msi file.

[prakashgupta]

whenever i try to fill the screen white, its not happening, its always black, i actually named the set_mode as screen and was using screen.fill(white).can anyone help please

[heindewilde]

From this tutorial on I suddenly get the error message: Segmentation fault: 11. Does someone know how to fix this?

[BeYakko]

why do we call pygame.quit() and quit()? why use both?

[straighter]

I'm getting a plane black screen :(
