Displaying multiple images using pygame

So I’m making a memory game using pygame and I need to display 16 images on a 4 by 4 grid. I made the 4x4 grid using a couple of for loops. I stored the images in a list variable. So far I can only get one image to display 16 times using the pygame.image.load() function. I’ve tried to google If there is some sort of loop I could run to display those images one by one from the list, but I’ve come up with nothing. The images also need to be in a random position every time the game is Played I’m pretty sure I know how to do that part I’m stuck on displaying the images on the window.

Any help is much appreciated Thanks.

Create two lists of images, one that simply holds the image bitmaps:

# Load in all the 16 images
memory_images = []
for filename in [ 'flower01.png', 'tree01.png', 'flower02.png', 'duck.png' ... ]
    new_image = pygame.image.load( filename )
    memory_images.append( new_image )

Another list can hold a mapping of image index to location. 

import random

# make a list of random numbers with no repeats:
image_count = len( memory_images )  # should be 16 for a 4x4 grid
random_locations = random.sample( range( image_count ), image_count )

The random_locations variable holds the index of the image loaded, this is random but will be of a form like: [7, 3, 9, 0, 2, 11, 12, 14, 15, 1, 4, 6, 8, 13, 5, 10] with no-repeats.

So when drawing your 16 cells, at cell [i] draw memory_images[ random_locations[ i ] ].

for i in range( 16 ):
    x, y = grid_locations[ i ]
    image = memory_images[ random_locations[ i ] ]
    screen.blit( image, ( x, y ) )
