Answer 1

Since right know, you have a static background, and the player that you control, is blitted in the position he is in, you have 2 options to always show the character in the middle.

1. If you map is small enought, you can have a big img A, and derive a rectangle, based on the position of the player that will be the size of the screen. That way, the player will always be in the middle. A Rect.clamp(Rect) or Rect.clamp_ip(Rect) will aid you in that.

2. Another approach is to have a different tuple for position on screen. The player will have a constant value in the center of the screen, while the backgrounds position will be the negative of the player position.
