I've been working at this for some time now and I can't figure out what the
problem is. What i'm trying to do is when the mouse is clicked, it saves the
mouse x,y then when the mouse clicks again at a different location it saves
the new mouse x,y then transforms.scale a image of a box with those
coordinates. For some reason I can't get the second mouse x,y to show up.
Thanks in advance!

background = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size())
#background = background.convert()
background.fill((250, 250, 250))
yellow_block = pygame.image.load("yellow_box.gif")
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()

    for event in pygame.event.get():
