fill tint - Zman350x - Feb-12-2017
for my pause screen I want to tint the background a bit black so you can still see the game in the back but it's darker (you have probably seen this in other video games) could I do a "screen.fill()" with a black slight alpha. how would I do so?
RE: fill tilt - metulburr - Feb-12-2017
you have to create a new surface the same size as the screen, then set the alpha, and blit that surface at the top left. Im in a rush currently but something along the lines of
overlay_bg = pg.Surface(screen_rect.size) overlay_bg.fill(0) overlay_bg.set_alpha(200) ... #main loop screen.blit(overlay_bg,(0,0))
