Pygame - How do I blit an image but change its color? [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can use the pygame.Surface.fill method to fill a surface with a solid color, e.g.:

background.fill((0, 100, 200))

The line above will fill the whole image, even the transparent pixels.

You can also pass a special_flags argument to use a different blending mode:

background.fill((0, 100, 200), special_flags=pygame.BLEND_MULT)

This one doesn't affect fully transparent pixels.

If you just want to draw some shapes like rects, circles or polygons, use the functions in the pygame.draw (or pygame.gfxdraw) module.
