12 Days of Python – Day 5
This is Day 5 of 12 Days of Python This is the fifth 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.
For Day 5 we’re going to add a background to the scene – walls and a floor. To do this, we draw some polygons filled with different colors.

Here’s what it looks like when you run it:
To try the code out yourself, you can cut-and-paste it from the code window above into your favorite Python editor.
On Day 6, we’ll add a Christmas tree to the scene.
