Pygame action when mouse 'click' on .rect?

Question

I have been writing a test function to learn how a mouse 'click' action on a pygame.rect will result in a reponse. So far: ``` def test(): pygame.init() screen = pygame.display.set_mode((770,430)) pygame.mouse.set_visible(1) background = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size()) background = background.convert() background.fill((250,250,250)) screen.blit(background, (0,0)) pygame.display.flip() ## set-up screen in these lines above ## button = pygame.image.load('Pictures/cards/stand.png').convert_alpha() screen.blit(button,(300,200)) pygame.display.flip() ## does button need to be 'pygame.sprite.Sprite for this? ## ## I use 'get_rect() ## button = button.get_rect() ## loop to check for mouse action and its position ## while True: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.mouse.get_pressed(): ## if mouse is pressed get position of cursor ## pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos() ## check if cursor is on button ## if button.collidepoint(pos): ## exit ## return ``` I have come across pages…

Well, if anyone is interested or is having a similar issue, this is what I needed to change.

First off, remove:

```
button = button.get_rect()
```

Then:

```
screen.blit(button, (300, 200))
```

Should be:

```
b = screen.blit(button, (300, 200))
```

This to create a `Rect` of the area of where the button is located on the screen.

From:

```
if event.type == pygame.mouse.get_pressed()
```

To:

```
if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN and event.button == 1:
```

The `pygame.mouse.get_pressed()` gets the state of all three mouse buttons (MOUSEBUTTONDOWN, MOUSEBUTTONUP, or MOUSEMOTION). I also needed to add in `event.button == 1` to specify that this was the 'left-mouse' button being pressed.

Finally:

```
`if button.collidepoint(pos):` 
```

To:

```
`if b.collidepoint(pos):`
```

Using `Rect` b's collidepoint method.
