How do I load sprites in Pygame?

To load sprites in Pygame, you can use the pygame.image.load() function to load your image files.

Can you show me an example of loading a sprite?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pygame

# Initialize Pygame
pygame.init()

# Load the sprite image
sprite_image = pygame.image.load('sprite.png')

# Create a sprite class
class MySprite(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.image = sprite_image
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

# Create a sprite group
all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group()

# Add the sprite to the group
my_sprite = MySprite()
all_sprites.add(my_sprite)

What if I want to animate the sprite?

You can animate a sprite by changing its image over time. You can create a list of images and cycle through them in your game loop.
