Questions tagged [pygame-surface]

pygame object for representing images. Use this tag only if you are using the pygame library and not if you have a question about programming a game in python in general.

The most important part of pygame is the surface. Just think of a surface as a blank piece of paper. You can do a lot of things with a surface – you can draw lines on it, fill parts of it with color, copy images to and from it, and set or read individual pixel colors on it. A surface can be any size (within reason) and you can have as many of them as you like (again, within reason). One surface is special – the one you create with pygame.display.set_mode(). This ‘display surface’ represents the screen; whatever you do to it will appear on the user’s screen. You can only have one of these – that’s an SDL limitation, not a pygame one.

I blit surfaces in my pygame file but the problem is they just stay there. My (hopefully temporary) solution was to just move them far off the window when they aren't in use (i.e. (-5000,0) ), but this decreases performance every time I blit a new…
