Allow SpriteList.draw_hit_boxes to take RGB colors

[pushfoo]

Enhancement request:

What should be added/changed?

Allow SpriteList.draw_hit_boxes to take RGB colors.

What would it help with?

This splits part of #2066 off:

• an issue for PyCon APAC 2025 as a first-time contribution
• a test of GitHub's new sub-issue feature within Arcade

Proposed implementation:

In this file at this location:

arcade/arcade/sprite_list/sprite_list.py

Lines 1134 to 1146 in 5743504

	def draw_hit_boxes(self, color: RGBA255 = (0, 0, 0, 255), line_thickness: float = 1.0) -> None:
	"""
	Draw all the hit boxes in this list.
	.. warning:: This method is slow and should only be used for debugging.
	Args:
	color: The color of the hit boxes
	line_thickness: The thickness of the lines
	"""
	# NOTE: Find a way to efficiently draw this
	for sprite in self.sprite_list:
	sprite.draw_hit_box(color, line_thickness)

• Change the annotation for color:
  • Add an import for RGBorA255 from arcade.types to this line

    arcade/arcade/sprite_list/sprite_list.py

    Line 37 in 5743504

    from arcade.types import RGBA255, Color, RGBANormalized, RGBOrANormalized

  • Change the annotation for color to RGBAorA255
• Convert and store the color argument with a line like converted_color = Color.from_iterable(color)
  • Put it before the for loop (we don't want to re-convert it each time!)
• Pass converted_color instead of color in sprite.draw_hit_box(color, line_thickness)

I've reached out the user in question 3+ times over the past week. I'm reassigning this to the PyCon APAC 2025 reserved queue.
