So with pygames, if I want to display text on the graphics window, I can set the font and size and so on, and set what I want my text to be. But if I wanted python to grab that text from a list, say, how would I do that? I can do it in the print command, as follows:
for score, name in high_scores: slip = 30 - len(name) slip_amt = slip*" " prefix = 5*" " print prefix,name,slip_amt,score (slip et al. is spacing stuff - not the prettiest code to do it, but it works) But in any case, font/text will only take strings - i cant pass in a list, or an index to an item in a list (which is, in this case, a tuple), and since the items in the list will be changed and updated obviously i cant just type in the items as strings myself. any ideas? does this question even make sense the way it's worded? It's a last-ditch effort to get my high score list onto the graphics window before i have to abandon it :) Thanks! ~Denise _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
