I am making a tetris remake in Pygame and need to move all of the blocks down by 31 pixels whenever a line is cleared. How can I take a capture of the screen above the line and move it down by 31 pixels?
I have managed to make a rect around the area I want to move, but am totally lost as to how I can copy the surface with it then move it down and place it back onto the surface, please help!
Here is my (unsuccessful) snippet of what I have so far:
if bc1 == "16070":
height_to_move = 659
else:
height_to_move = 659 - int(bc1[3:])
movable_sheet = pygame.Rect(160, 70, 279, height_to_move)
movedsheet = screen.subsurface(movable_sheet).copy()
screen.blit(screen, (160,101), (160, 70, 279, height_to_move))
