Sorry for the slow response ;)

There is a detail which I do not understand. I was trying to tile
an image over a background, when I encountered the following code
in screen.py (lines 82-85):

           bg = pygame.Surface(conf.WINSIZE)
            for y in range(0, conf.WINSIZE[1], i.get_height()):
                for x in range(0, conf.WINSIZE[0], i.get_width()):
                    bg.blit(i, (x, y))

Is this correct? It seems to me the WINSIZE is hardcoded here. I
loaded Window with (1024, 768) as size, and my image (sized
66x34) pixels is not properly tiled.

What is the current status op Pygsear? Is there a public CVS tree? I
want to contribute to it: write documentation, fix bugs (I think the
above is a bug), and maybe add new features; I have two main problems
with my current project: a 'level' can be approx. 8000x8000 pixels large,
so scaling or tiling one big background image is no option, but runtime
scaling a portion of a small background image is too slow. My other problem
is the speed of scrolling, I am thinking of solutions for this; in both
cases, it is a more general problem which might reside well is a gaming
library on top of pygame, as is pygsear.

yours,
Gerrit.
