Re: [pygame] Fullscreen Display
Hooray! Something I can help with! It's: 'from pygame.locals import *' or: 'pygame.FULLSCREEN' Of course, I was beaten to it four times... Ian

That's not how Python works. Cheers! Marius Gedminas -- If the code and the comments disagree, then both are probably wrong. -- Norm Schryer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Sounds like you forgot: from pygame.locals import * Which is now the FULLSCREEN name gets into your program's namespace. --- James Paige

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. -Casey
[pygame] Fullscreen Display
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 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? Thanks, Matt.
