In this article we will create a pause scene for our ongoing pygame project. When a user presses the p key on his keyboard during the game, the game will pause and the pause scene will appear. When he presses the play button on the pause scene the game will resume. We need to modify three files in order to include this scene into the game. The first file to edit is the main project file which we will include in an extra mechanism to detect the p key pressed event.
import sys, pygame
from pygame.locals import *
from GameManager import GameManager
pygame.init()
size = width, height = 660, 660
pygame.display.set_caption("Air Strike") # set the title of the window
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
game_manager = GameManager(screen)
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.mixer_music.stop()
sys.exit()
# detect key press event
if event.type == KEYDOWN:
if(game_manager.state == 1):
if event.key == K_LEFT:
game_manager.set_player_x(-0.1)
elif event.key == K_RIGHT:
game_manager.set_player_x(0.1)
if event.key == K_UP:
game_manager.set_player_y(-0.1)
elif event.key == K_DOWN:
game_manager.set_player_y(0.1)
if event.key == K_SPACE:
game_manager.set_missile_strike(True)
if event.key == K_p :
game_manager.set_pause(True) # set the pause state to true
elif event.type == KEYUP:
if (game_manager.state == 1):
if event.key == K_LEFT:
game_manager.set_player_x(0)
elif event.key == K_RIGHT:
game_manager.set_player_x(0)
if event.key == K_UP:
game_manager.set_player_y(0)
elif event.key == K_DOWN:
game_manager.set_player_y(0)
if event.key == K_SPACE:
game_manager.set_missile_strike(False)
elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
# 1 is the left mouse button
if event.button == 1:
game_manager.isAreaClick(event.pos)
game_manager.loop()
The next file needs to edit is the start scene file where we will include in the pause scene to the start scene class.

The final class which we need to edit is the game manager class where we need to include in the pause game state as well as to adjust the related methods to match this new state, for example shows the pause scene when the game is in the pause state.
