[PyGame] Spawning platforms that don't touch

[Windspar]

I personally don't care for his tutorials.
1. Uses way to many globals. You should get use to not using globals.
2. He always predefine colors. Pygame has over 400 builtin colors.

Example how you can handle spritesheet. This will let you grab images by name not rect.

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
from pygame.image import load as image_load
from pygame.transform import scale
from pygame import Rect

class JumpySpriteSheet:
    def __init__(self, filename, xmlfile):
        self.spritesheet = image_load(filename).convert_alpha()
        self.scale_sheet()
        self.image_dict = {}
        self.read_xml(xmlfile)

    def scale_sheet(self):
        size = self.spritesheet.get_size()
        size = size[0] // 2, size[1] // 2
        self.spritesheet = scale(self.spritesheet, size)

    def read_xml(self, xmlfile):
        tree = ET.parse(xmlfile)
        root = tree.getroot()

        for child in root:
            rect = Rect([int(child.get(attrib)) // 2 for attrib in ['x', 'y', 'width', 'height']])
            self.image_dict[child.get('name')[:-4]] = rect

    # reference
    def get_image(self, name):
        return self.spritesheet.subsurface(self.image_dict[name])

I get back to you with more later.
