7.13: Drawing “Press a key” Text to the Screen
- Page ID

def drawPressKeyMsg(): pressKeySurf = BASICFONT.render('Press a key to play.', True, DARKGRAY) pressKeyRect = pressKeySurf.get_rect() pressKeyRect.topleft = (WINDOWWIDTH - 200, WINDOWHEIGHT - 30) DISPLAYSURF.blit(pressKeySurf, pressKeyRect)
While the start screen animation is playing or the game over screen is being shown, there will be some small text in the bottom right corner that says "Press a key to play." Rather than have the code typed out in both the showStartScreen()
and the showGameOverScreen()
, we put it in a this separate function and simply call the function from showStartScreen()
and showGameOverScreen()
.
