    there are other operators available, see the above link or use tab.print(screen.BLEND_MODES) in the REPL for the full list.

    0 Over (default)

    1 XOR: clears any overlapping pixels.

    2 Add: adds together the alpha (brightness) of overlapping pixels.

    3 Multiply: multiplies the colors of overlapping pixels, the result is always darker than the two inputs.

    4 Screen: the colors of overlapping pixels are complemented, multiplied, then their product is complimented. the result is always lighter than the two inputs.

    5 Overlay: multiplies colors if destination pixel level is >= 8, screens colors if destination pixel level is < 8.

    6 Darken: keeps the darker value of overlapping pixels.

    7 Lighten: keeps the lighter value of overlapping pixels.

    8 Color_Dodge: brightens pixels being drawn over.

    9 Color_Burn: darkens pixels being drawn over.

    10 Hard_Light: multiplies colors if source pixel level is >= 8, screens colors if source pixel level is < 8.

    11 Soft_Light: uses Darken or Lighten depending on the color of the source pixel.

    12 Difference: the result is the absolute value of the difference of the destination and source pixels.

    13 Exclusion: similar to Difference, but has lower contrast.

Usage:

  • -- number vs. string input
screen.blend_mode(0)
screen.blend_mode('over')
  • -- case-insensitivity
screen.blend_mode('hard_light')
screen.blend_mode('hArD_lIgHt')
screen.blend_mode('HARD_LIGHT')
