Any way to speed up Python and Pygame?

Question

I am writing a simple top down rpg in Pygame, and I have found that it is quite slow.... Although I am not expecting python or pygame to match the FPS of games made with com

Answer 1

First, always use 'convert()' because it disables alpha which makes bliting faster. Then only update the parts of the screen that need to be updated.

global rects

rects = []

rects.append(pygame.draw.line(screen, (0, 0, 0), (20, 20), (100, 400), 1)) 

pygame.display.update(rects) # pygame will only update those rects

Note:

When moving a sprite you have to include in the list the rect from their last position.
