Font

Fonts are used to render text. As of version 1.0, fonts are only used by Sprite.write_text.

To write any text in the game, you will need to create a pygame font object and pass it to Sprite.write_text.

import pyscratch as pysc
import pygame

# Create the font. For more details, see: https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/font.html#pygame.font.SysFont
default_font = pygame.font.SysFont(None, size=48)  # None for the default font

# create the sprite
colour = (127, 127, 127)
width, height = 20, 20
sprite = pysc.create_rect_sprite(colour, width, height)

# write the text on the sprite
sprite.write_text("hello!", default_font)

You can choose other font by specifying name of the font in pygame.font.SysFont. You can also download other fonts from the asset library and load it using pygame.font.Font. However, as of 29 Jun 2025, only the default font has been tested and other fonts are not guaranteed to work.
