I've recently begun to teach myself pygame by making a bunch of small toys. My current toy is cellular automata displayer and I've gotten a bit stuck on the displaying bit. (If automata isn't the plural of automaton please forgive me.) The current automata are only binary and are calculated using 2D Numeric arrays. It had been my assumption that once the automata was calculated I could then multiply the entire array by 255 to get a nice array of grayscale pixel values. I had also hoped to feed the new grayscale array straight into surfarray as the manual talks in many places about 2Dpixel arrays taking integer pixel values. But I find the tutorials and manuals confusing and usually end up with black and blue displays. Could someone provide an explanation, and maybe a code example, as to how to create grayscale pixel based graphics with pygame using only 2D arrays?
