[pygame] draw.rect question real simple
So basically pygame.draw.rect basically draws on the rect onto the surface, so its not actually assigned to anything(such as a variable).

Right; it just performs the action of drawing a rectangle on the specified surface. Note, though, that according to: http://pygame.org/docs/ref/draw.html#pygame.draw.rect the function returns a Rect object (nearly the same thing as a 4-entry tuple) which you can ignore. If you really wanted to know where the rect was drawn, you could capture that return value like so: spam = pygame.draw.rect(...) print spam In terms of it being assigned to something, it's a function of the pygame.draw module.

Yeah took some time of thinking and fixing and rethinking. Pygame is like a
strategy puzzle. I've just mapping script, where in the text file are

created. Them I displayed them on the screen. Its quite nice to make

My only flaw is, the rects render upside down. What could I do to fix that?

I can explain a lot more. In your code, you have a structure called surfaces, which is kept in the map class. This structure is a list with two elements. These two elements are themselves lists -- the first one is a list of Surface objects, representing images, and the second one is a list of some type representing location of these images on-screen. In the code snippet above, your map create_box method adds an image and a location to this surfaces structure. These two things, image and location, are paired, in a sense; the image has a location, and putting a different image at the same location, or putting the same image at a different location, would be a bug. Pairing information in this way is very common in all kinds of programs, not just games, and there are many mechanisms for showing this kind of pairing. You have implemented a mechanism which I will call parallel arrays; in order to access an image and its corresponding location, you look up the same index in two lists (surfaces[0][i] and surfaces[1][i]). This is a simple mechanism, and it works fine, but there are some complications. For instance, let's say you have five images, and five locations. Now you want to delete an image, but forget to delete its location. Now you have four images and five locations, and it may not be possible to figure out which image goes with which location. I am proposing the use of another structure, which is called sprite here but can really be called anything, which combines both the image and the location. If you were to structure your map_ class this way, instead of having structures be a list of two lists, it would be one list of sprites. To access the image and the location, you would do surfaces[i].image and surfaces[i].rect. In addition, you no longer have to worry about deleting all the parts of the sprite object; once the sprite is removed from the surfaces list, it's gone, not half-there like in the hypothetical forgot to delete something case. There is more to pygame sprites, but the reason I suggested you use them is that they keep the image and its location together. This is the why. The how is outlined in the code I sent -- it creates one sprite, and uses its image and rect attributes to simplify moving it around onscreen (in an admittedly trivial way). As it applies to your own code you can probably figure out on your own.

Are you sure you're using your classes right, though? A method of a class should change instance attributes, and only secondly return values. That shouldn't be its primary focus. If you have more questions that are python-specific but not pygame-specific, try asking on the python-tutor mailing list. It's a nice list geared specifically toward people learning Python. -Luke

It works well for me. Its just a snippet i grabed from my class O_o.

Ok heres my outcome. main2.py is the newer one. main.py is the older one.

Re: [pygame] Is there some type of hex codes to rgb converter or something?
Lamonte Harris wrote: It works well for me. Its just a snippet i grabed from my class O_o. The fact that it works doesn't mean it's good practice. This also works: a = 1 b = a + 1 c = b + 1 d = c + 1 e = d + 1 but it's much more common (and better practice) to just straight-away say e = 5 unless you really need all those intermediate values. And still that wouldn't be the best way to assign them. Your class isn't designed correctly if your methods don't do anything but return values. This is for many reasons: efficiency, maintainability, readability, etc. etc. But in general, the Object Oriented paradigm is centered around objects that are collections of data and methods (related functions) that act on data. If your classes just take in external data and output data externally to the class, they're not objects. Then you're just using classes to group functions which may or may not be related, and no data involving them. I was trying to word it in a way that was less critical, but that's the general meaning I was trying to get across: your class should be modifying data internally. It's possible that the rest of your class does, and for some reason or another you just had to code this method this way, but since I can't see your code I can only assume. -Luke
