Pygame Tutorial 1 – part 3.1 – python programming

To scale an image with pygame is easy:

load the image
get the size of the screen
blit the image on the screen using pygame.transoform.scale passing the image and the dimension you want the image to be scaled to in a tuple


import pygame

# SCALE AN IMAGE TO FIT THE SCREEN
 
pygame.init()
 
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((600, 500))
bg = pygame.image.load("image.png").convert_alpha()
sw, sh = screen.get_size()
while True:
    screen.blit(pygame.transform.scale(bg, (sw, sh)),(0, 0))
    if pygame.event.get(pygame.QUIT):
        break
    pygame.display.update()
pygame.quit()
