Do you have a folder named ship1.jpg? And does that folder have an image named ship1.jpg?

hi
Please see the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\ammah\OneDrive\Documents\project1\myCode.py.py", line 84, in <module>
background = pygame.image.load(path.join(img_dir,"ship1.jpg")).convert()
pygame.error: Couldn't open C:\Users\ammah\OneDrive\Documents\project1\ship1.jpg
>>>
project1 is name of folder
ship1.jpg is the image name

Please see my coding below:
img_dir = path.dirname(__file__)
background = pygame.image.load(path.join(img_dir,"ship1.jpg")).convert()
background_rect = background.get_rect()
screen.blit(background, background_rect)

The error says it can't open the file. It either doesn't exist, or might be locked (if it's open in another program).

So, in the folder "C:\Users\ammah\OneDrive\Documents\project1", you have at least these two files, correct? myCode.py.py and ship1.jpg
