The scrip I used uses two keys: F12 for fullscreen and ESC for quit to windows.
The script starts with the default initialization of the PyGame python module.
The open the window in fullscreen with a resolution of 1024x768.
Using the while True condition you can change it into window mode with a resolution of 640x480 by pressing the F12 key.
In this loop is set the key ESC to quit the application.
import pygame,sys
pygame.init()
#set the fullscreen - my display is 1024 by 576
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1024, 576),pygame.FULLSCREEN,32)
pygame.display.set_caption("Example fullscreen")
cursor_x,cursor_y = 0,0
cmddown = False
fullscreen = True
while True:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
#Toggle Fullscreen (press escape to exit/enter fullscreen)
if event.key == pygame.K_F12:
if fullscreen == True:
#exits fullscreen
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))
pygame.display.set_caption("Example window 640x480")
fullscreen = False
else:
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1024, 576),pygame.FULLSCREEN,32)
pygame.display.set_caption("Example fullscreen 1024x768")
fullscreen = True
if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
if cmddown == True:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
elif event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
cmddown = False
screen.fill((0,0,0))
pygame.display.flip()
