Re: [pygame] Surface Sprite Rect -> HELP

["Nicolas Bischof" <nicolas.bischof@xxxxxxxxx>]

thanks, but when clearing a row i will need to have the moving methods
of my piece class.
My piece class has a group of sprites and methods to spin and move the
piece, also i built a collision detection system in the piece.
But you say when the piece hits the ground i just blit it. I´m not
sure what do you mean...
now y have a class witch contains all the fallen pieces in a list and
handles the clearing of the row, to draw the fallen pieces i iterate
over the list and use the draw method for each sprite group of the
piece, ¿how would you do it?
