Center window of a Pygame Zero game

I am using the easy-to-use Python library pgzero for programming games.

How can I center the game window? )It always opens at a random position...

import pgzrun

TITLE = "Hello World"

WIDTH  = 800
HEIGHT = 600

pgzrun.go()

Note: I am using the runtime helper lib pgzrun to make the game executable without an OS shell command... It implicitly imports the pgzero lib...

Edit: pgzero uses pygame internally, perhaps there is a way to center the window using the pygame API...

Solution

  • You can use os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED'] = '1'

    This line of code tries to center your window the best it can.

    Try this:

    import pgzrun
import os

TITLE = "Hello World"

WIDTH  = 800
HEIGHT = 600

os.environ['SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED'] = '1'
pgzrun.go()
