How do I load images in Pygame?

You can load images in Pygame using the pygame.image.load() function. Just provide the path to your image file.

Can you show me an example of loading a background image?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pygame

pygame.init()

# Load the image
background = pygame.image.load('background.png')

# Display the image
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()

What if the image doesn't load?

If the image doesn't load, make sure the file path is correct and that the image file is in a supported format like PNG or JPG.

Can I resize the image after loading it?

Yes, you can resize the image using pygame.transform.scale(). For example:

resized_image = pygame.transform.scale(background, (800, 600))
