I have an error and I do not know why

[rohes_kaugummi]

Hello,
i am trying to make a platformer game but every time I press a key the following error message:

File "D:\python project\pygametest\pygametest.py", line 39, in redrawwindow
game_window.blit(walkleft(walkcount//3),(x,y))
TypeError: 'pygame.Surface' object is not callable

Here is my code if it helps.

This is a function call.

1	walkleft(walkcount//3)

It is a function call because there is a word (walkleft) followed by parenthesis (). The "walkcount//3" is an argument provided to the function call.
But according to this code, walkleft is is an image, not a function.

1	walkleft = (pygame.image.load("D:\python project\pygametest\idle.png"))  # Why the extra ()?

There is also no place in your code where you define a function named "walkleft".

What are you trying to do with this bit of code?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

if left:     game_window.blit(walkleft(walkcount//3),(x,y))     walkcount += 1 elif right:     game_window.blit(walkright(walkcount//3),(x,y))     walkcount += 1 else:     game_window.blit(idle, (x,y))

I want to add sprites to my game. At first I wanted to do multipel frames in one animation but i got lazy and did not make additional frames.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

if left:     game_window.blit(walkleft(walkcount//3),(x,y))     walkcount += 1 elif right:     game_window.blit(walkright(walkcount//3),(x,y))     walkcount += 1 else:     game_window.blit(idle, (x,y))

Was walkleft supposed to be a list of images? If so, you would use square brackets to index the list instead of parenthesis. Do you understand why you are getting the error now?

Yes, thank you
