Pygame issue while using scrolling to "zoom in/out".

[Jory R Ferrell]

i am attempting to use the scroll wheel to enlarge or shrink everything on the screen. But after I enlarge the images and try to shrink them, the images disappear completely and I can no longer "scroll in". Obviously I am not updating everything correctly, but I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Also, I can't scroll in more than once...I was under the impression that I could make multiple calls to the function the way it's written, and each call would reassign something to the width and height. This is not happening. I suspect again because I am not updating the images correctly?

Nevermind on the updating each time I scroll. For some reason the image won't scale any longer past just a certain size. I started with larger images and it's scrolling fine...till I hit a threshold. I Still don't know why that is.

Again, I just need to figure out why the image disappears past a certain size (only does it when shrinking).
