The following works with both under python 3.4.0, etc, as above, though the
SDL2 version is slow.
import sys
import pygame
# or import pygame_sdl2 as pygame
pygame.init()
window_size = width, height = (800, 600)
speed = [5, 5]
background = (255, 144, 0) #colour. red, green and blue.
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(window_size)
ball = pygame.image.load("ball.gif")
ballrect = ball.get_rect()
keep_going = True
try: #get ready to deal with any problems
while keep_going:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
keep_going = False #exit the loop
ballrect = ballrect.move(speed)
if ballrect.left < 0 or ballrect.right > width:
speed[0] = -speed[0]
if ballrect.top < 0 or ballrect.bottom > height:
speed[1] = -speed[1]
screen.fill(background)
screen.blit(ball, ballrect)
pygame.display.flip()
except:
raise #show what went wrong
finally:
pygame.display.quit() #close the window
