Hey, I'm a new programmer and I have a question about storing images.
Since I've started using pygame, I've saved each image as its own file (ex.
player_left_1.bmp)
But recently I subscribed to pygame mailing list and came across some
emails discussing animation. Someone suggested using one image file with
all of a character's sprites and changing the source rect. I deleted
the emails before I realized their significance.
Could anyone give me an example of how this could be done? I think they
used a dictionary to define animations, but I'm not sure. Any help would be very
appreciated.
