Hi Nathan,
Just create a surface the same size as your screen, and have a loop like so while True: <move rects> <draw hockey rink, which erases old hockey players> <blit hockey players onto moved rects, which are drawn on top of hockey rink> <check for input> Here's some rough code to add a background for that ball one I posted yesterday. Bear in mind that I can't check this at work. Lines with !! are new- import sys, pygame pygame.init() !!background = pygame.image.load("bckgrnd.bmp")#Pygame can handle other formats. !!backgrountRect = background.get_rect() !!size = (width, height) = background.get_size() #Returns size of image as (x, y) so game screen will be as big as background screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size) ball = pygame.image.load("ball.bmp") ballrect = ball.get_rect() while 1: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: sys.exit() ballrect = ballrect.move(speed) if ballrect.left < 0 or ballrect.right > width: speed[0] = -speed[0] if ballrect.top < 0 or ballrect.bottom > height: speed[1] = -speed[1] !!screen.blit(background, backgroundRect) #instead of screen.fill() screen.blit(ball, ballrect) pygame.display.flip() That's very basic, but it should work. www.med.govt.nz -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Pinno Sent: Tuesday, 8 November 2005 1:24 p.m. To: Tutor Mailing List Subject: [Tutor] Does Pygame allow background images?
