Creating barriers/boundaries help for Pygame

[michael1789]

Tell the program that if your characters edge passes the edge of the screen to reset it to be on the screen. If you are using your pygame rect it is like this:

character.image = pygame.transform.scale(player, (30,30))
character.rect = character.image.get_rect()

if character.rect.right is > width:
    character.rect.right = width

I encourage you to learn the pygame Sprite class. It will make things a lot easier (like collecting coins) going forward.
