uhhhh (i followed a yt tut so idk) my code: idk if i put code in wrong place

import pygame
   
 white = (255,255,255)
 black = (0,0,0)
 orange = (255,165,0) 
 player_sprite = pygame.image.load("will smith.png") .convert_alpha


 pygame.init()
 display = pygame.display.set_mode((850,850))
 pygame.display.set_caption('Conners Game')

 exit = False

while not exit:

for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        exit = True
    print(event)

display.fill(white)
pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()
quit()

not really sure why it does this, im new to python so idk

There are multiple things that needs to fixed. First of all to you actually need to blit the image on the screen.

while not exit:

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        #...[block of code]

    display.fill(white)
    display.blit(player_sprite, (100,100)) # BLIT IMAGE TO SCREEN

.convert_alpha() is a method and you need to call it after you initialize pygame and set the video mode.

You can read more about convert_alpha() here

pygame.init()
display = pygame.display.set_mode((850,850))
pygame.display.set_caption('Conners Game')

#converting it after init and setting game mode

player_sprite = pygame.image.load("will smith.png").convert_alpha() 

Here's the final working code

import pygame
   
white = (255,255,255)
black = (0,0,0)
orange = (255,165,0) 



pygame.init()
display = pygame.display.set_mode((850,850))
pygame.display.set_caption('Conners Game')
player_sprite = pygame.image.load("will smith.png").convert_alpha()
exit = False

while not exit:

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            exit = True
        # print(event)

    display.fill(white)
    display.blit(player_sprite, (100,100))
    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()
quit()

CodePudding user response：

You have to blit the image in the application loop, after clearing the display and before updating the disaply:

display.blit(player_sprite, (100, 100))

convert_alpha is function. You missed the parentheses

player_sprite = pygame.image.load("will smith.png").convert_alpha

player_sprite = pygame.image.load("will smith.png").convert_alpha()

Complete example:

import pygame
   
white = (255,255,255)
black = (0,0,0)
orange = (255,165,0) 

pygame.init()
display = pygame.display.set_mode((850,850))
pygame.display.set_caption('Conners Game')

player_sprite = pygame.image.load("will smith.png").convert_alpha()
exit = False
while not exit:

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            exit = True
        print(event)

    display.fill(white)
    display.blit(player_sprite, (100, 100))
    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()
quit()

The typical PyGame application loop has to:

• limit the frames per second to limit CPU usage with pygame.time.Clock.tick
• handle the events by calling either pygame.event.pump() or pygame.event.get().
• update the game states and positions of objects dependent on the input events and time (respectively frames)
• clear the entire display or draw the background
• draw the entire scene (blit all the objects)
• update the display by calling either pygame.display.update() or pygame.display.flip()
