Re: [pygame] Shutting down the video screen



Yes, you just destroy it then restart it, ie:

screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size, flags)
pygame.display.quit()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size, flags)

Similar question from myself.  Any way of just temporarily hiding the display
and then restoring it later?

I.e. a hypothetical:

pygame.display.hide()

#Do some stuff
.
.
.

pygame.display.unhide()

?

Or do I quit and then re-initialise the display?

Thanks,

Pete
