Moving to pygame 2.0 has improved things somewhat (still tinkering), so
thank you!
Only issue I've run across in moving to pygame 2.0 is this block of
code, which is part of a routine that shows a little square popup when
launching an emulator. The text in 1.9.1 shows up fine, but in 2.0 I
just see black boxes where the text region and text would be. The
Font.render API didn't seem to change so I'm not sure what it could be.
for l in lines:
text = _info_font.render( l, 1, _fg_color )
textpos = text.get_rect()
if textpos.width > _info_rect.width:
textpos.width = _info_rect.width
x = _info_rect.left + ( 2 * _item_padding ) + ( (
_info_rect.width - textpos.width ) / 2 )
offset = ( _info_font_size + _item_spacing ) * count
textpos = textpos.move( x, y + offset )
_screen.blit( text, textpos )
count += 1

Pygame2.x will work on python2.7.
I stuck with that version for quite some time myself, but moving to
3.x was the best thing I ever did.

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for the response, yes I am using 1.9.1. This is
mostly due to still using Python 2.x. I will look into upgrading
and porting to Python 3.x and trying out these suggestions.

I get the feeling you are using an older version of pygame (1.9.1
or 1.9.6 perhaps). The debug print has been fixed for quite some
time. Also, pygame2.0 uses SDL2 and handles fullscreen better. It
supports a scaled fullscreen desktop mode that actually changes
the desktop resolution. Just use the pygame.SCALED flag to
pygame.display.setmode()
To upgrade you can try one of these commands:
pip3 install pygame -U
pip install pygame -U
I think if I were creating a front end like this I would destroy
the window before executing a game, and then recreating it
afterwards.
The official pygame Discord has recently shut down. Perhaps you
might want to visit the github or an unofficial pygame discord.
