Re: [pygame] creating a sprite image in code

[Casey Duncan <casey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's an example that creates a white circle with diameter "size"  
with a transparent background:

image = pygame.Surface((size, size), 0, 8)
key_color = (0, 0, 0)
image.fill(key_color)
image.set_colorkey(key_color)
pygame.draw.ellipse(image, (255, 255, 255), image.get_rect())

Obviously you can draw whatever you like in your image surface.
