Syntax

This page will show you how to basic drawing in pygame. There is a lot of initial code you need to get used to before really embarking on pygame, the most important of which is the game loop.

Syntax

Drawing in pygame revolves around the idea of a surface. A surface is a block of memory which can be updated by the draw commands and then, when drawing is complete, be sent to the graphics card. When doing any command using the draw object, you must always pass through a surface.

Rectangles form a large part of pygame and it is worth learning more about them. Also, it is also important to learn about surfaces as they provide a lot of the depth that pygame provides.
