Side Scrolling Pygame Problme

enter image description hereI was trying to make a side scroller game with pygame ( i am quite new to pygame ) and my game works quite fine but once it turns fast it just gets a weird kind of glitch for a few seconds and it happens occasionally i think its some kind of background error of size not being enough but my screen size is 800, 447 but the background png i use is 1920, 1080 ( the black screen is my background ) Here is my code

from pygame.locals import *
import os
import sys
import math

pygame.init()

W, H = 800, 447
win = pygame.display.set_mode((W,H))
pygame.display.set_caption('Side Scroller')
x = 200
y = 200
height = 30
width = 30

bg = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('im','bg.png')).convert()
bgX = 0
bgX2 = bg.get_width()

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

class player(object):
    run = [pygame.image.load(os.path.join('im', str(x) + '.png')) for x in range(8,16)]
    jump = [pygame.image.load(os.path.join('im', str(x) + '.png')) for x in range(1,8)]
    slide = [pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S1.png')),pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')),pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')),pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')), pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')),pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')), pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')), pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S2.png')), pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S3.png')), pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S4.png')), pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'S5.png'))]

Solution

  • looks like you just need to update your screen so the pixels will update properly. you can add

    pygame.display.update()

    to the end of your game loop

    if this still don't work then try using this command to fill in the background with just the color black just and clearing everything

    win.fill((0, 0, 0))

    you should put it at the start of the game loop
