I have a GUI made with Pygame in Python. I would like to be able to display a message when my mouse cursor goes, on top of a button. The purpose of this is to explain to the user what the button does or represents.
Is there a way to display text when hovering over a pygame object in Python? the classes that i've used for making a button
def __init__(self, title, width=400, height=600, fill=colours["White"]):
self.title=title
self.width=width
self.height = height
self.fill = fill
self.current = False
def makeCurrent(self):
pygame.display.set_caption(self.title)
self.current = True
self.screen = pygame.display.set_mode((self.width, self.height))
def endCurrent(self):
self.current = False
def checkUpdate(self):
return self.current
def screenUpdate(self):
if(self.current):
self.screen.fill(self.fill)
def returnTitle(self):
return self.screen
class Button():
def __init__(self, x, y, sx, sy, bcolour, fbcolour, font, fontsize, fcolour, text):
self.x = x
self.y = y
self.sx = sx
self.sy = sy
self.bcolour = bcolour
self.fbcolour = fbcolour
self.fcolour = fcolour
self.fontsize = fontsize
self.text = text
self.current = False
self.buttonf = pygame.font.SysFont(font, fontsize)
def showButton(self, display):
if(self.current):
pygame.draw.rect(display, self.fbcolour, (self.x, self.y, self.sx, self.sy))
else:
pygame.draw.rect(display, self.bcolour, (self.x, self.y, self.sx, self.sy))
textsurface = self.buttonf.render(self.text, False, self.fcolour)
display.blit(textsurface, ((self.x + (self.sx/2) - (self.fontsize/2)*(len(self.text)/2) - 5,(self.y + (self.sy/2) -(self.fontsize/2) - 4))))
def focusCheck(self, mousepos, mouseclick):
if(mousepos[0] >= self.x and mousepos[0] <= self.x + self.sx and mousepos[1] >= self.y and mousepos[1] <= self.y + self.sy):
self.current = True
return mouseclick
else:
self.current = False
return False```
Ive been trying to find some tutorials on youtube but havent been able to find anything any help is really appreciated
