Re: [pygame] Fill a Rect object with color?

[stabbingfinger <stabbingfinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lemme borrow Russell's method to show what I think is your missing 
piece: some way of getting a boom tower's rectangle onto the game's 
playfield (the main PyGame surface). Run it, and left-click the mouse to 
change the state of the boom tower.

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
class BoomTower:
   def __init__(self, bounds, normal_color, fire_color):
       self.normal_image = pygame.Surface((bounds.w,bounds.h))
       self.normal_image = self.normal_image.convert()
       self.normal_image.fill(normal_color) ## Set the colour to the 
default
       self.fire_image = pygame.Surface((bounds.w,bounds.h))
       self.fire_image = self.fire_image.convert()
       self.fire_image.fill(fire_color)
       self.current_image = self.normal_image
   def get_current_image(self):
       return self.current_image
   def shoot(self):
       ## Your other code here
       if self.current_image is self.normal_image:
           self.current_image = self.fire_image
       else:
           self.current_image = self.normal_image
   def draw(self, surface, pos):
       rect = self.current_image.get_rect()
       rect.center = pos
       surface.blit(self.current_image, rect)
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_mode((800,600))
s = pygame.display.get_surface()
r = pygame.Rect(50,50,100,100)
boom_tower = BoomTower(r, Color("white"), Color("red"))
while 1:
   for event in pygame.event.get():
       if event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
           boom_tower.shoot()
   boom_tower.draw(s, r.center)
   pygame.display.flip()
