Re: [pygame] Starting Window Position

I think that might work also, but it would mess up everything else too right?  Like the set variables, etc.

Hi

could it be that you can set it only once, before you call pygame.init()

work if you quit pygame, reset the env var again and initialize pygame
to change the position again)
