Well, it's problem after problem, bug after bug over here. I fixed it so that 
it loads images (Thanks!). I added my sprites to the 
pygame.sprite.RenderUpdates() sprite group and (after fixing a couple syntax 
errors) it worked!

...OK, not really. It almost worked. It returned no errors, yet the bullets 
don't appear on-screen. I put the code in SVN just a second ago if you want 
to check it out (svn://commons.game-host.org:3670/TypeNine) and I can provide 
a zip if you want, too. It's weird though... I think it's because I didn't 
put attacking in the def update() section but instead put self.attack() in 
there and made a def attack() in there to fire the bullets. I think that's 
the reason, anyway...
