Error with displaying / Screen Resolution - Solution

[germo24]

If anyone has a problem with pygame printing, whether it looks big, small, too zoomed in, etc.

I left the solution with a contribution from another issue that I saw but a little more generalized.
You can do something like this to see in what resolution pygame is seen when it generates frames in fullscreen:

import pygame

pygame.init()

# Create screen in fullscreen mode
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0, 0), pygame.FULLSCREEN)

# Get screen dimensions
screen_width, screen_height = screen.get_size()
print(f"Screen size is: {screen_width} x {screen_height}")

pygame.quit()

And when you have the screen resolution, look for the conversion factor:

For example: 1920 * 1080 to 1600 * 900

1600/1920= 0.83333

And the parameters that are affected by this are the following, all rescaled to this number (0.83):

CAR_SIZE_X
CAR_SIZE_Y
self.position
text_rect.center (of both texts, this parameter is 2 times because there are 2 objects text)

So the new scaled values ​​are given by:

scaled_values = old_values ​​* conversion_ratio

So, we have for example:

Before (Resolution 1920 * 1080)

CAR_SIZE_X = 60
self.position = [830, 920]

After (Resolution 1600*900)

CAR_SIZE_X = (60 * 0.83) = 50
self.position = [( 830 * 0.83 ) , ( 920 * 0.83)] = [691, 766]

And so on with the rest of the parameters...
The text (text_rect.center ) should not cause you problems and it is easier to reposition where you want but the other parameters are important.

I hope it helps 😄
