Images and Image collections don't have an alpha

[phenixsims]

You don't have a discussion board so I had to make an issue. This isn't really an issue but I feel like there should be an alpha input for images and image collections.

I want to animate the alpha of an image dynamically. I know how to do this with normal pygame but that defeats the purpose of using your library.

You are correct that my Image class does not deal with alpha at all. I personally have never done anything with it.

But if you want to be able to modify the alpha on-the fly, you could do it without too much trouble. You could create a new class, maybe ImageAlpha, which would be a subclass of the existing Image class, so it inherits all the existing methods. If you need to specify a starting alpha, you could copy the parameters of the Image class, and add a starting alpha value with whatever you would want as your default value (probably 255?). Then the new class could have some new methods like increaseAlpha, decreaseAlpha, setAlpha, and perhaps getAlpha. I think that's probably all you would need.

Let me know if this works for you. You can contact me directly at Irv at furrypants dot com
