Pygame rectangle fill with color and border with different colors

I want to draw a rectangle filled with one color and border with another color. Something like this:

enter image description here

And I can draw two rectangles, one is filled with some color and the other one has just borders:

pygame.draw.rect(screen, "red", (100, 100, 100, 100))
pygame.draw.rect(screen, "green", (100, 100, 100, 100), 5)

But, is there any better way?

Solution

  • Technically there is no better way. You have to draw 2 rectangles. A rectangle can only have one uniform color. There is no separate argument for the color of the border. See pygame.draw.rect(). You can write it with one line of code (list comprehensions), but you still have to draw 2 rectangles:

    [pygame.draw.rect(screen, c, (100, 100, 100, 100), w) for c, w in [("red", 0), ("green", 5)]]
