Hi,
I have seen the following line used to initialise a full screen
display in a number of books and tutorials:
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((xsize, ysize), FULLSCREEN, 32)
When I use it in my program then I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bouncing_ball_OOP.py", line 63, in <module>
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((xsize, ysize), FULLSCREEN, 32)
NameError: name 'FULLSCREEN' is not defined
I expected the set_mode method to treat the FULLSCREEN as an
argument and not as a variable/ object. I can use the following
line without a problem to initialise a windowed display for my
program:
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((xsize, ysize), 0, 32)
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
You need to import the name FULLSCREEN into your namespace, or prefix
your reference to it with the pygame module like so:
pygame.FULLSCREEN
to import it directly, use:
from pygame.locals import *
the latter makes it a less clear where the name comes from, however
with the benefit of increased brevity.
