I am very new to python and pygame and I'm currently making a very basic experiment with it. So far, I know how to draw an image on the screen, move it around, add a background, stuff like that. But what I have always been wondering is, how do I switch between screens in a game and how do I keep the code tidy when doing so?
Every time I try to add a new thing to my already unstable code, it takes only a few lines to break it and it becomes a confusing mess. If for example, I want a start screen that shows the title and a "press any key to continue" kinda thing, how do I do it?

A quick fix:

  • Make the entire screen white and then draw the second screen onto the first one.
  • Then when you need the other screen, just refill the screen with black and then continue.
  • This can be achieved by putting the screens in their own separate functions.

Let me know if this helps out
