How can I rotate a sprite in Pygame?

You can rotate a sprite in Pygame using the pygame.transform.rotate() function. First, load your image, then use this function to rotate it by a specified angle.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import pygame

pygame.init()

# Load your sprite image
sprite_image = pygame.image.load('sprite.png')
angle = 45  # Angle to rotate
rotated_image = pygame.transform.rotate(sprite_image, angle)

What if I want to rotate it continuously?

You can update the angle in your game loop and call pygame.transform.rotate() each frame to achieve continuous rotation.

Is there a way to rotate around the center of the sprite?

Yes! After rotating, you can adjust the position of the sprite to keep it centered. Use the get_rect() method to get the new rectangle and adjust its position accordingly.
