How to animate an image II- Wrap around screen

One of the problems with our prior pygame animation is that once the red square goes to far to the left, we don’t do anything. It just seems to be gone forever !

What we want to write is the python code that says, “Hey if the image goes all the way to left, off of the screen, then set its x coordinate (ie imageX) back to the total right!) As shown here;

The two highlighted lines of code below do exactly that. We discuss those 2 lines at length below.

The get_rect() method is a handy method that pygame supplies us . It allows us to figure out.

pygame-get_rect_width-example — get_rect().width

pygame-get_rect_x_y_example-diagram — how the get_rect().x and .y works

What we want to do is set the imageX value back to width (350) as soon as the image’s x value is at – get_rect().width

import pygame


pygame.init()
width=350;
height=400

screen = pygame.display.set_mode( ( 

width, height) )
redSquare = pygame.image.load

("images/red-square.png").convert()
fpsClock = pygame.time.Clock()
imageX= 200; # x coordnate of image
imageY= 30; # y coordinate of image
running = True
black = ( 0 , 0 , 0)
while (running): # loop listeneint 

for end of game
    imageX -= 20 ;
    if imageX <= -redSquare.get_rect

().width :
        imageX= 350

    screen.fill(black) # clear screen
    screen.blit(redSquare , (imageX, 

imageY) ) # paint to screen
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False
    pygame.display.update()
    fpsClock.tick(30)
#loop over, quite pygame
pygame.quit()

import pygame

pygame.init()

width=350;

height=400

screen = pygame.display.set_mode( (

width, height) )

redSquare = pygame.image.load

("images/red-square.png").convert()

fpsClock = pygame.time.Clock()

imageX= 200; # x coordnate of image

imageY= 30; # y coordinate of image

running = True

black = ( 0 , 0 , 0)

while (running): # loop listeneint

for end of game

imageX -= 20 ;

if imageX <= -redSquare.get_rect

().width :

imageX= 350

screen.fill(black) # clear screen

screen.blit(redSquare , (imageX,

imageY) ) # paint to screen

for event in pygame.event.get():

if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

running = False

pygame.display.update()

fpsClock.tick(30)

#loop over, quite pygame

pygame.quit()
