In this article, we will learn How to get the size of a PyGame Window. 

Game programming is very rewarding nowadays and it can also be used in advertising and as a teaching tool too. Game development includes mathematics, logic, physics, AI, and much more and it can be amazingly fun. In python, game programming is done in pygame and it is one of the best modules for doing so.

pygame.init()

# Form screen
screen = pygame.display.set_mode()

# get the default size
x, y = screen.get_size()

# quit pygame
pygame.display.quit()

# view size (width x height)
print(x, y)

Output :

1536 864

Example 2:

Python3

# import package pygame
import pygame

# initialize pygame
pygame.init()

# Form screen
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500))

# get the size
x, y = screen.get_size()

# quit pygame
pygame.display.quit()

# view size (width x height)
print(x, y)
