How do I change the sprite(Ship) to ShipRight and Shipleft when I change the direction?

you display a placeholder variable lets call it "current".

ship default

current = Ship
#draw current

when you move ship to right, you displace the image you want

current = Shipright
#draw current

Thank you for responding! Could you put the code in my script for me? Sorry to ask I'm very new to python

Never mind I got it! Thank you!
