How can I improve the performance of my Pygame application?

There are several ways to enhance Pygame performance. You can optimize your game loop, reduce the number of blits, and use sprites efficiently.

What do you mean by optimizing the game loop?

Optimizing the game loop involves minimizing the work done in each frame. You can achieve this by controlling the frame rate and only updating what's necessary.

Are there specific techniques for reducing the number of blits?

Yes, you can batch draw calls, use dirty rectangles, and limit the number of surfaces you draw to the screen each frame.

What about using sprites? How can that help?

Using sprites allows you to manage multiple images as a single object, which can reduce overhead and improve rendering speed.
