Pygame is a free, open-source Python programming language library for creating video games. It consists of computer graphics and sound libraries designed to be used with the Python programming language. It is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system.


Displaying text on the screen with Pygame is done by creating a text object, then drawing it to the screen. This can be done by creating a font object, then calling the font's render() method to create the text object. Finally, the text object can be drawn to the screen by calling the pygame.display.update() method.


Here is an example of displaying text on the screen with Pygame

Code


In this solution, we use the Pygame function to display the text on screen.

import pygame


FPS = 10
BLACK = (0,0,0)
WHITE = (255,255,255)
BLUE = (0, 0, 255)

HEIGHT, WIDTH = 960, 960
game_display = pygame.display.set_mode((HEIGHT, WIDTH))
pygame.display.set_caption("")

pygame.font.init()
font = pygame.font.SysFont("calibri", 30)
online_start_text = font.render("Online", True, BLACK)

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

quit = False
while not quit:
    clock.tick(FPS)

    for event in pygame.event.get():
       if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
           quit = True

    game_display.fill(WHITE)

    pygame.draw.rect(game_display, BLUE, (380,700,200,80), 0))
    game_display.blit(online_start_text, (480 - online_start_text.get_width() // 2,
                                          390 - online_start_text.get_height() // 2
                                          ))
    pygame.display.update()

Instructions


  1. Install Jupyter Notebook on your computer.
  2. Open terminal and install the required libraries with following commands.
  3. Install Pygame - pip install pygame
  4. Remove the extra bracket in line 29 to avoid errors.
  5. Copy the snippet using the 'copy' button and paste it into that file.
  6. Run the file for displaying the text on screen with Pygame.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for "Displaying text on the screen with Pygame" in kandi. You can try any such use case!

                      If you do not have Pygame that is required to run this code, you can install it by clicking on the above link and copying the pip Install command from the Pygame page in kandi.


                      You can search for any dependent library on kandi like Pygame.

                      Environment Tested


                      I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

                      1. The solution is created in Python3.9.6
                      2. The solution is tested on Pygame 2.3.0 version.


                      Using this solution, we are able to display the text on screen with Pygame


                      This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to display the text on screen with Pygame
