I'm working with pygame to make an alien shooter game. I want to make the game window adapt to the user's screen size so that it automatically starts in full-screen mode, by detecting their screen size. I'm thinking of using pygame.display.set_mode((screen_width, screen_height)), but I don't know how to make Python detect the user's screen size. How do I do that?

You can do it with that code:

pygame.display.set_mode((0, 0), pygame.FULLSCREEN)

It will start your game in full screen mode.

You can use pygame.display.Info()

The docs say:

current_h, current_w: Height and width of the current video mode, or of the desktop mode if called before the display.set_mode is called. (current_h, current_w are available since SDL 1.2.10, and pygame 1.8.0) They are -1 on error, or if an old SDL is being used.1.8.0)

pygame.display.Info() creates an Info Object with the attributes current_h and current_w. Create the Info Object before you call display.set_mode and then call display.set_mode with current_h and current_w from the object.

Example:

infoObject = pygame.display.Info()
pygame.display.set_mode((infoObject.current_w, infoObject.current_h))
