12 Days of Python – Day 10
This is Day 10 of 12 Days of Python This is the tenth in a series of posts where we use Python and the Pygame module to draw a Christmas scene. Each day we add something else to the scene, and we show a new aspect of Python or Pygame. We’re also having a giveaway, where you can win a Kindle Touch!
On Day 1, we made a Pygame window and used the Pygame draw functions to draw Santa using lines circles and polygons. On Day 2, we made Santa’s arm wave. On Day 3, we added a calendar. On Day 4 we added code to cross off the days on the calendar. On Day 5, we added a background. On Day 6, we added a Christmas tree (using recursion). On Day 7, we drew some Christmas lights. On Day 8, we added a picture on the wall behind Santa. On Day 9, we added some presents
For Day 10 we’re adding a window to the scene. This one is pretty simple. We use a black polygon for the window itself (filled with black, because it’s dark outside). Then a couple of lines for the cross pieces, and another rectangle – this one not filled – for the frame.
The only tricky part was figuring out the exact shape of the polygons to give the window some perspective. We just played around with the points until it looked right.

To try the code out yourself, you can cut-and-paste it from the code window above into your favorite Python editor.
On Day 11, we’ll make the lights (that we added on Day 7) blink.
