Re: [pygame] sprite groups and tilesheets

[Devon Scott-Tunkin <djvonfunkin@xxxxxxxxx>]

its returning a list so you cant have self.image = load_sprite('player.png').

you need something like: 

self.images = load_sprite('player.png')
self.image = self.images[0] #for first frame

or

self.frame = 0
self.image = self.images[self.frame] 
#if you want to update it later with the different animation frames.

Here's a basic sprite class with a looping animation:

class Bob(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
  def __init__(self):
    self.frame = 0
    self.images = load_sprite('bob.png')
    self.image = self.images[self.frame]
    self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
    self.animcounter = 0
    self.animspeed = 7
  def update(self):
    self.animcounter = (self.animcounter + 1)%self.animspeed
    if self.animcounter == 0:
      self.frame = (self.frame + 1)%len(self.images)
    self.image = self.images[self.frame]



bob = Bob()
where bob.update() #would be called in the main loop
