How to copy an object

[Windspar]

If you deepcopy anything. It copies everything.
Personal I never use pygame sprites class.

Example.

class Ship
    # class instance. There be only one. doesn't matter how many objects you make.
    image = # load ship image

    def __init__(self):
        self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(Ship.image, angle)

class Rock:
    image = # load rock image

    def __init__(self):
        self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(Rock.image, angle)
