Showing how to move image in Pygame ------------------------------------------------------------- import pygame #import from pygame.locals import * pygame.init() #initializes pygame size=width,height=640,600 window=pygame.display.set_mode(size) #pygame.display.set_mode creates window MOVEX = 0 MOVEY = 150 playerX=0 playerY=0 picture1=pygame.image.load("oreo.jpg") #function used to load image while True: #when while loop is true for event in pygame.event.get(): #event in pygame if event.type==KEYDOWN: #event type equals KEYDOWN if event.key == K_UP: #if user presses up button on keyboard MOVEY=-10 #moveY equals -10 meaning it moves 10 pixels #closer to the top elif event.key == K_DOWN: #if key down is pressed +10 pixels #towards the bottom MOVEY =+10 elif event.key == K_RIGHT: MOVEX=+10 elif event.key == K_LEFT: MOVEX=-10 if event.type==KEYUP: #if player releases key values become 0 if event.key == K_UP: MOVEY=0 elif event.key == K_DOWN: MOVEX =0 elif event.key == K_RIGHT: MOVEY=0 elif event.key == K_LEFT: MOVEX=0 playerX += MOVEX #this has to be here to allow picture to move playerY += MOVEY #it adds MOVEY variable with playerY so it is always only adding 10 pixels and starts at 0X and 0Y window.fill((55,55,55)) #fill window with colour window.blit(picture1, (playerX, playerY)) #blit picture and player variables pygame.display.update() #updates screen follow me on twitter- https://twitter.com/dropdasoaps
