Hi
I tryed this in IDLE:

IDLE 1.1.1     
>>> import pygame
>>> pygame.init()
(6, 0)
>>> screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
>>> pygame.draw.line(screen, (255,255,255),(0,0),(100,100))
<rect(0, 0, 101, 101)>
>>> pygame.display.update()
>>> for i in range(100):
   pygame.display.update()

  
>>> screen.set_at((50,50),(255,255,255))
>>> pygame.display.update()
>>> pygame.quit()
>>>

But nothing happend in the pygame window.


To build a console within the pygame window, I know I have to render the 
text. It's not too slow to render the text if its not a lot text. Anyway 
thats not my question. I do not know how to build a console within the 
pygame window. Ok, when the problems of displaying and capturing the 
text have been solved, what must I do with the strings I get from the 
"inputbox"? I read something about the eval( ) or the exec( ) functions 
in the docs but do not understand if they are the functions to pass the 
strings. The idea is, that on could od the same things as in IDLE 
console (or as similar as possible). Ok there can be some problems. But 
such a console would be an interactive interface and the user could do 
everything (from loading images and display them to apply some 
transfomation or do whatever with the images). I supose it is possible 
some how, or not?
