DELETE THIS THREAD PLEASE I SOLVED THE ISSUE MY OWN EASY MISTAKE
For some reason the spaceship only moves when I press L or R arrow keys but they should be moving when I hold them down instead of pressing them a bunch of times. here is the code I have I am following metulburr tutorial on part 3. I added the ship.png so you could see for yourself.
import sys
import pygame as pg
pg.init()
screen_width = 800
screen_height = 600
class player:
def __init__(self, screen_rect):
self.image = pg.image.load('ship.png').convert()
self.image.set_colorkey((255,0,255))
self.transformed_image = pg.transform.rotate(self.image, 180)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center = screen_rect.center)
self.speed = 5
def update(self, keys):
if keys[pg.K_LEFT]:
self.rect.x -= self.speed
elif keys[pg.K_RIGHT]:
self.rect.x += self.speed
def draw(self, surf):
surf.blit(self.transformed_image, self.rect)
screen = pg.display.set_mode((screen_width, screen_height))
screen_rect = screen.get_rect()
player = player(screen_rect)
clock = pg.time.Clock()
gameOver = False
while not gameOver:
screen.fill((0,0,0))
keys = pg.key.get_pressed()
for event in pg.event.get():
if event.type == pg.QUIT:
gameOver = True
player.update(keys)
player.draw(screen)
pg.display.update()
clock.tick(60)
player.draw(screen)
pg.display.update()
pg.quit()
sys.exit()
