Greetings fellow pygame-istas,

I'm having a problem working through an example in the tutorial:

  Help! How Do I Move An Image?

At:

  http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/MoveIt.html

in the section headed:

  Going From The List To The Screen

there is this example:

  >>> background = "" terrain1, terrain2, terrain2,
terrain2, terrain1]
  >>> screen = create_graphics_screen()
  >>> for i in range(6):
  ...  screen.blit(background[i], (i*10, 0))
  >>> playerpos = 3
>>> screen.blit(playerimage, (playerpos*10, 0))



In the line:

    >>> screen = create_graphics_screen()

I can find no def for:

 Âcreate_graphics_screen()

Predictably the line gets:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
     NameError: name 'create_graphics_screen' is not defined

I've studied the foregoing sections for a clue , but can find none.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me,

Tom Arnall
