How to change the PyGame icon?

While building a video game, do you wish to set your image or company’s logo as the icon for a game? If yes, then you can do it easily by using set_icon() function after declaring the image you wish to set as an icon. Read the article given below to know more in detail. 

Syntax:

pygame_icon = pygame.image.load('#Enter the image')
pygame.display.set_icon(pygame_icon)

Approach:

Step 1: First, import the library Pygame.

import pygame

Step 2: Now, construct the GUI game.

pygame.init()

Step 3: Further, set the dimensions of your GUI game.

screen = pygame.display.set_mode([#width of game, #height of game])

Step 4: Next, take the image as input that we wish to set as an icon.

img = pygame.image.load('#Enter the image')

Step 5: Then, set the image as an icon. The icon set will appear in the top-left corner when the game is in running state.

pygame.display.set_icon(img)

Step 6: Later on, set the running value for running the game.

running = True

Step 7: Set the things which you want your game to do when it is in a running state

while running:
   for event in pygame.event.get():

• Step 7.1: Once the app is in a running state, make it quit if the user wants to quit.

       if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
           running = False

• Step 7.2: Moreover, set the background color which you wish to see in your app.

   screen.fill(# RGB Value of Color)

• Step 7.3: Then, make your app do whatever you want it do while being in a running state.
• Step 7.4: After doing everything you wish to do, update the changes done.

   pygame.display.update()

Step 8: Finally, quit the GUI game

pygame.quit()

Below is the implementation.

Python

# Python program to change
# the Pygame icon

# Import the library Pygame
import pygame

# Construct the GUI game
pygame.init()

# Set dimensions of game GUI
screen = pygame.display.set_mode([600, 400])

# Take image as input
img = pygame.image.load('gfg_image.jpg')

# Set image as icon
pygame.display.set_icon(img)

# Set running value
running = True

# Setting what happens when game
# is in running state
while running:
    for event in pygame.event.get():

        # Close if the user quits the game
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            running = False

    # Set the background color
    screen.fill((255, 255, 0))

    # Draw a circle on the screen
    pygame.draw.circle(screen, (0, 0, 0), (300, 200), 75)

    # Update the GUI game
    pygame.display.update()

# Quit the GUI game
pygame.quit()

Output:
