Re: [pygame] beginner problem.

Hi Elvelind.

background is just a Surface (an image).  It gets drawn on the screen when
you call screen.blit().

afterward, you draw "pummel" onto the Surface, but you don't draw that
onto the screen again, so it still looks the same.

you should do screen.blit() after you draw "pummel" onto the Surface named
"background".
