Pygame, change resolution of my whole game

I have designed my whole pygame to work for 1920x1080 resolution.

However, I have to adapt it for smaller resoltion.

There is a lot of hardcoded value in the code.

Is there a simple way to change the resolution, like resizing the final image at the end of each loop, just before drawing it ?

i usually create a base resolution and then whenever the screen is resized, i scale all the assets and surfaces by ratios.

This works well if you have assets that are of large resolution and you have scaled then down but would pixelate for smaller images.

you can also create multiple assets file for each resolution and when ever your resolution goes above one of the available asset resolution you can change the image. you can think in in context of css media query to better understand.

You can use this : pygame.transform.scale or better (but less efficient) pygame.transform.smoothscale.

To do that, just change the reference surface where you draw (screen) to a generic surface. And after, just resize it, and put it on screen.

I can show you some code if you don't understand how it's work. Just ask.
