Hi Frank,
Does your game project has will have an option to change resolution of game
screen (cabinet art + game area) ? or will it always got eg. fullscreen in
one resolution only ( eg. fullscreen in 1024x768) ?
If the cabinet art is static then you can blit it into screen only once and
only update changes in game area.
#Rough example
screen.blit(cab_art,(0,0);
while 1:
#all your game stuff
screen.blit(game_changes,(x,y)
pygame.display.update()
Cheers
Bart
