Part 1 - Drawing a Background #
- Add these lines to the end of your program. Make sure you add the spaces at the beginning of the second line.
def draw():
screen.blit('cascade', (0, 0))
The def keyword creates a function. A function is a way of grouping instructions together. The function we just made is called draw. You need to have a draw function if you want Pygame Zero to draw anything. The line that starts with screen.blit is the only instruction in this function. It tells Pygame Zero to draw something on the screen.

Let’s try changing the background…

You should see a folder with all the images in this project. You can use any of these in the game. You can even add your own images here, either downloaded from online, or created in a paint tool.
- Go back to Mu and change

- Repeat to find a background that you like
