Reach the Flag

Part of the Worlds section of Coddy's Pygame journey. Lesson 35 of 35.

The last step gives the cave an end. Reach the flag past the door and you win; lose the third life and the game is over.

The F tile is the flag, one Rect named flag. Touching it sets won = True. Put everything that moves under one condition, so the game stops at either end:

if lives > 0 and not won:
    # keys, movement, coins, dangers, blobs,
    # the key, the flag and the camera

Drawing stays outside the condition: the last frame stays on the screen, and on top of it the result, centred:

if won:
    message = font.render("You win!", True, (255, 255, 255))
    screen.blit(message, message.get_rect(center=(WIDTH // 2, 150)))
elif lives == 0:
    message = font.render("Game over", True, (255, 255, 255))
    screen.blit(message, message.get_rect(center=(WIDTH // 2, 150)))

Play it from the start: the first pit, the step, the blob, the spikes, the key and the door. Then change the map and make the cave your own.

Challenge

Medium

Load flag.png into flag_img, make won = False, and for F in the map set flag = rect.
Each frame, touching flag sets won = True.
Indent the whole update under if lives > 0 and not won:.
Draw the flag through the camera, and show You win! or Game over centred at (WIDTH // 2, 150).
