pygame square following mouse cursor












5















When I run a pygame program, a white square (about 15px by 15px) follows my cursor around the window. This happens on the most basic pygame program and a few others, too.
My most basic pygame program:



import pygame, sys



DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((500,500))

clock = pygame.time.Clock()





while True:

    for event in pygame.event.get():

        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:

            pygame.quit()

            sys.exit()



    pygame.display.update()



    # --- Limit to 60 frames per second

    clock.tick(30)


Why is this happening? Is it my code, my system, or Pygame?
I am running python 3.7, pygame 1.9.4, and macOS 10.13.6.



EDIT:
After running the same program on Crouton (linux) there is no square.






python pygame

  • hmm so im on windows but you could try calling pygame.display.flip() instead of pygame.display.update() also if you plan on doing animation you should add DISPLAYSURF.fill(color) after you call the update/flip

count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

Image
up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

Image
0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
