12 Days of Python – Day 8
This is Day 8 of 12 Days of Python This is the eighth 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.
For Day 8 we’re adding a picture on the wall behind Santa. This picture will be a computer-generated artwork, just like the one we did in Chapter 16 of our book. It draws rectangles of random sizes, in random colors. The artwork is drawn the full size of the window (640 v 480), and then scaled down using pygame.transform.scale().

To try the code out yourself, you can cut-and-paste it from the code window above into your favorite Python editor.
On Day 9, we’ll add some presents to the scene.
