Right now my game works as so: My sprite can move right or left, jump and shoot fireballs (bullets). However, once my sprite walks past the limit of my background surface, it goes off-screen. So I want to make the background move along with my sprite. As soon as my player sprite moves about 50 pixels towards the edges of the screen, the background moves too. How do I create this with Pygame? I've found quite an amount of sources which shows you how to do this but with a plain colour background. But my background is an image I load into the game, so I would like to learn how to do so with an image as background. How to make it repeat once the sprite comes near the limit of both sides. I separated my codes into 3 different files: a Main.py, settings.py and Sprite1.py. Here's Main.py:
import pygame
import os
import sys
import time
from pygame import mixer
from Sprite1 import *
from settings import *
'''
Setup
'''
pygame.init()
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
pygame.mixer.music.load('.\\sounds\\Fairy.mp3')
pygame.mixer.music.play(-1, 0.0)
all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group()
player = Player(all_sprites)
player.rect.x = 50
player.rect.y = 500
showStartScreen(surface)
'''
Main loop
'''
main = True
while main == True:
background = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('images', 'Bg.png'))
surface.blit(background, (0,0))
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
main = False
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT or event.key == ord('a'):
player.control(-steps,0)
if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT or event.key == ord('d'):
player.control(steps,0)
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT or event.key == ord('a'):
player.control(steps,0)
if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT or event.key == ord('d'):
player.control(-steps,0)
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if not(isJump):
if keys[pygame.K_UP]:
isJump = True
else:
if jumpCount >= -10:
player.rect.y -= (jumpCount * abs(jumpCount)) * 1
jumpCount -= 2
else:
jumpCount = 10

# dt = time since last tick in milliseconds.
dt = clock.tick(60) / 1000
all_sprites.update(dt)
player.update(dt)
all_sprites.draw(surface) #refresh player position
pygame.display.flip()
Here's settings.py:
import pygame
isJump = False
jumpCount = 10
width = 960
height = 720
fps = 40 # frame rate
#ani = 4 # animation cycles
pygame.display.set_caption('B.S.G.')

I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks beforehand!
