Re: [pygame] Surface Sprite Rect -> HELP

["spotter ." <talonspotter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

A surface is like a container for an image. You would blit a surface
to see an image (dont forget to update).

A sprite can be an object like an enemyship or any other object.

A rect is a box that you can create and fill with a color and blit the
surface to see an image. You can also get parts of other images with
rects, i believe.

Here is some code, if it helps you understand better than my writing.

class EnemyShip(pygame.sprite.Sprite):


	def __init__(self, initial_position,hits_to_take):
		pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
		
		
               self.rect = play.cache["enemy.png"].get_rect()


Good luck with tetris and dont be shy to ask any questions.
