Re: [pygame] what is the use of Rect.move(offsetX, offsetY) for moving an image?

[tom arnall <kloro2006@xxxxxxxxx>]

you mean by manipulating Rect.x  etc?  yep that works fine and that's
how i handle the problem.

but why have the move() method in pygame at all? i mean, what do
people use it for typically?
