Re: [pygame] Fade to black question...

[Ian Mallett <geometrian@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think the fade things are best accomplished using the alpha solution mentioned earlier.  If you want stuff like three-way-fades, you'll want surfarray or some such.

surf1 = #whatever

surf2 = #whatever (entirely black or white surface, etc.).

for step in xrange(transition_length):

    surf1.set_alpha(int(round((float(step)/transition_length)*255.0)))

    #draw surf1 over surf2
