[PyGame] pygame image loading error

[BlueClaw]

This pygame code does not work. All I am trying to do is load images to test an animation.

import pygame
pygame.init()

win = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500))
pygame.display.set_caption("pesto anchovy")
plright = [pygame.image.load('Player/pl_idle.png'), pygame.image.load('Player/pl_move.png')]

char = pygame.image.load('pl_idle.png')
run = True

while run :
    pygame.time.delay(100)
    win.blit(plright[1], (50, 50))

    pygame.display.update()
    pygame.time.delay(100)

    win.blit(plright[0], (50, 50))

    pygame.display.update()

please help.

plright = [pygame.image.load('Player/pl_idle.png'), pygame.image.load('Player/pl_move.png')]

I think what you are doing here is making a list of load commands, but not running them. Try loading them separately.

[BlueClaw]

it works outside of the loop, but not in it, which causes obvious problems

[michael1789]

Do you get an error, or does nothing happen? If it works outside the loop then the loading works, it's the animation that doesn't.

[BlueClaw]

nothing works, not even a single, non-animated image.

I obviously don't have the images, so I replaced them with just surfaces filled with a color:

plright = []

first = pygame.Surface((25, 25))
first.fill((255, 0, 100))
plright.append(first)

second = pygame.Surface((25, 25))
second.fill((0, 0, 200))
plright.append(second)

The rest of your code I didn't change, and it ran fine (the colors shifted back and forth). However, because you aren't checking for events, I had to force-kill python to stop it lol.

I've made a few changes, maybe this will help:

import pygame
pygame.init()
 
win = pygame.display.set_mode((500, 500))
pygame.display.set_caption("pesto anchovy")
plright = []

first = pygame.Surface((25, 25))
first.fill((255, 0, 100))
plright.append(first)

second = pygame.Surface((25, 25))
second.fill((0, 0, 200))
plright.append(second)
 
#char = pygame.image.load('pl_idle.png')
run = True
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
active_index = 0
while run:
    for ev in pygame.event.get():
        if ev.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False

    win.blit(plright[active_index], (50, 50))
    active_index = (active_index+1) % len(plright)
    pygame.display.flip()
    clock.tick(10)

Thank you, that worked.
