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.

Subject: [Tutor] Does Pygame allow background images?
Hey all,
Does Pygame allow background images (i.e. a hockey rink for a hockey game)?
Thanks,
Nathan Pinno
