Re: [pygame] ?scroll a section of the background?

[Justin Shaw <wyojustin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help.  I seem to get a core dump with I try to blit the surface onto itself ...

here is the snippet

s = pygame.Surface((50, 50), color=(255, 100, 100))
for i in range(10, 200):
    s.blit(s, (i, i))
    pygame.display.flip()


This is the error I get
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

What you want to do is just blit the screen into itself with an offset.
