📦 JEWindow

Technical reference for the JEWindow class of JarEngine.

Inherit from •>JEInternBaseClass<•📎

🔹 Overview

JEWindow is responsible for managing the main PyGame application window and its rendering surface.

Provides:

  • Creation and configuration of the main PyGame display.
  • Access to the active rendering surface.
  • Basic window rendering operations such as filling and surface blitting.
  • Centralized management of window settings.

JEWindow is the main interface between JarEngine applications and the underlying PyGame window system. It manages the display lifecycle and provides a simplified abstraction over PyGame’s window handling.

Used as the primary rendering target for games and applications built with JarEngine.

🔹 API

Function Arguments Returns Description
__init__ size: JEVector2D \| tuple[int, int] = JEVector2D(0, 0), flags: int = 0, fps: int = 60, depth: int = 0, display: int = 0, vsync: int = 0, title: str = "JarEngine Game"   Initialize the PyGame window and its settings
fill color: JEColor \| tuple[int, int, int] \| tuple[int, int, int, int]   Fill the window rendering surface with a color
blit source: PyGame.Surface, dest: PyGame.Surface   Copy a PyGame surface onto another surface

🔹 Usage

from jarengine.games import JEWindow
from jarengine.systems import JEColor

# Create a game window
window = JEWindow(
    size=(1280, 720),
    fps=60,
    title="My JarEngine Game"
)

# Main game loop
while True:
    # Clear the window with a background color
    window.fill(JEColor(30, 30, 30))

    # Draw game elements here
    # window.blit(surface, position)

    # Update the display
    window.update()
