Setting the caption of a window in Pygame

by Dejaswarooba Updated: Apr 6, 2023

Solution Kit

Pygame is a Python package used to create games and multimedia applications. It is based on the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) library, which gives low-level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware through OpenGL and Direct3D. Python developers may easily design games and multimedia apps using Pygame's high-level methods and classes. It has modules for graphics, sound, input processing, event handling, and other aspects. Pygame is a cross-platform application that runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and other platforms.

You can change a Pygame window's caption by calling the pygame.display.set caption() function and provide the appropriate window caption as a string parameter.

Code

In this solution, we have used display.set caption() for setting caption for the pygame window

Python- Pygame won't display images or captions

Dependent Libraries :

import pygame
pygame.init()
gameDisplay = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 433))
pygame.display.set_caption('Pac Man')
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
background = pygame.image.load('/Path/To/Background.png')
gameDisplay.blit(background, (100, 0))


run = True

while run:
   for e in pygame.event.get():
       if e.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
    gameDisplay.blit(background, (0, 0))
    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()
quit()

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

Install Visual Studio Code in your computer.
Install the required library by using the following command - pip install pygame.
If your system is not reflecting the installation, try running the above command by opening windows powershell as administrator.
Open the folder in the code editor, copy and paste the above kandi code snippet in the python file.
The above code can also be used to display backround. if necessary, we can use that else comment the lines as shown in the image.
Run the code using the run command.

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 "setting caption for pygame window" in kandi. You can try any such use case!
