I want to stop the screen background image from moving with the player but I can’t figure out how to do it. Below is an example, as the player moves the background image moves with it. I just want the camera to move with the player and the background to be stationary. Can anyone help?
EXAMPLE:
CODE:
import pygame
from pygame import *
WIN_WIDTH = 800
WIN_HEIGHT = 640
HALF_WIDTH = int(WIN_WIDTH / 2)
HALF_HEIGHT = int(WIN_HEIGHT / 2)
DISPLAY = (WIN_WIDTH, WIN_HEIGHT)
DEPTH = 0
FLAGS = 0
CAMERA_SLACK = 30
def main():
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(DISPLAY, FLAGS, DEPTH)
pygame.display.set_caption("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
timer = pygame.time.Clock()
up = left = right = False
entities = pygame.sprite.Group()
player = Player(32, 32)
platforms = []
x = 0
y = 0
level = [

It’s the other way round: the background is already stationary. You want it to move with the camera.
So instead of
use
and change your camera class to this
to allow applying it to arbitary coordinates, not only
Sprites.
