How do I use sprites in Pygame?

To use sprites in Pygame, you can create a Sprite class that inherits from pygame.sprite.Sprite.

Can you show me a simple example of a sprite class?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

import pygame

class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.image = pygame.Surface((50, 50))
        self.image.fill((255, 0, 0))
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

player = Player()

How do I add the sprite to a group?

You can add the sprite to a group like this:

all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group()
all_sprites.add(player)

What if I want to move the sprite?

You can update the sprite's position by changing its rect attribute in the game loop. For example:

player.rect.x += 5  # Move right
