Just out of curiosity, why does a game lag when I load an image as well as display pygame shapes for example rectangles, circles and ellipses. I have this code where you shoot the ghosts that fall down (I'm still working on the shooting part). I made the cannon out of pygame shapes. But when I run it the images of the ghosts are prefect but the images of the cannons lag and disappears and reappear and so on. Is there any way to stop this lag or disappear and reappear thing? I'm running python 2.6 with windows vista.
