Yes, that's good.
But I have to iterate through the map-list, though.

This is the way I made it:

        for x in range(len(self.map)):
            for y in range(len(self.map[x])):
                screen_x = x * GRIDSIZE
                screen_y = y * GRIDSIZE
                if self.map[x][y] == '#':
                    self.background_list.add(Wall((screen_y, screen_x)))
                elif self.map[x][y] == ' ':
                    self.background_list.add(Ground((screen_y, screen_x)))
                elif self.map[x][y] == '0':
                    self.background_list.add(Nothing((screen_y, screen_x)))

This create's the background_list.
I do this for Pacman, the ghosts and the pills too.

Yes, but i have to iterate trough the maplist. If I do it not,
i don't know the coordinates defined in the map.

Thank you for your tips.
