Pop up message box in PyGame

Question

I want to create a pop up window inside the game which will display result for a small game, if you click OK, the game continues, but that doesn't matter. How do you even create such box so it will pop up when I call it? I read question with pgu, what is pgu? Is it another external library?

Answer 1

I used tkinter and created a message box,

from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
Tk().wm_withdraw() #to hide the main window
messagebox.showinfo('Continue','OK')

Answer 2

You can treat popup window like another sprite in Pygame.

Create class with draw(), update(), handle_event() and use it similar to Player and Enemy.

Simple example with own Button in PyGame

You may also use one of PyGame modules for GUI but some of themy may need changes in code because they run own event loop.

Example GUIs

• PGU

• OcempGUI
