Sprite is a 2D graphic object that moves around in the game environment. It is the basic building block of a game. 

  • They can be animated, have sound attached, and interact with the player and other objects in the game. 
  • Sprites interact with each other and the game environment based on these attributes. 


Pygame is a free, open-source library for creating 2D games using Python. It is a popular library millions of developers worldwide use to create games, multimedia applications, and interactive programs. Pygame provides high-level, cross-platform Python modules for video game writing. 



Here is an example of drawing a sprite on the screen in PyGame.

Instructions


  1. Install Jupyter Notebook on your computer.
  2. Open terminal and install the required libraries with following commands.
  3. Install Pygame - pip install pygame
  4. Copy the snippet using the 'copy' button and paste it into that file.
  5. Run the file using run button.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for "Creating sprite on the screen in PyGame" in kandi. You can try any such use case!

                      Environment Tested


                      I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

                      1. The solution is created in Python3.9.6.
                      2. The solution is tested on Pygame 2.3.0 version.


                      Using this solution, we are able to draw a sprite on the screen in PyGame


                      This process also facilities an easy to use, hassle free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to draw a sprite on the screen in PyGame
