Save Image/Scene to file

[acbart]

I (someday) plan to rewrite Broadway to work with the new Spyral API. That will require a way to export Images and the Scene to a file, using pygame.image.save[1]. Obviously, this is extremely low priority.

Any idea on how to go about doing this?

For images, we can probably add a method on them to let you save them to a file.

For saving out the scene, we can probably provide a hook in the form of an event that stuffs the scene into a dummy Image for you to call ->save() on? I'm not sure there's any other good place for us to provide acccess to the rendered scene.

For saving the scene, is it not as simple as passing pygame.display.get_surface() into pygame.image.save() ?
