Alright, so I got some extremely simple code going on here, any comments/suggestions are recommended. Keep in mind, SIMPLE, in other words short and concise. thnx.
My problem is loading an image from a png file. So for example i got a couple of images in the file, and i want only one row to be loaded when the user presses for example, the right arrow key. Basically i have 4 rows, 2 or 3 columns 4 rows for each arrow key respectively

Right, so this is using python 2.7 btw. Any help is appreciated thnx again. And also, there are some things that are added that have no use, but thats for later code, and vice-versa. Some tweaks i could do, like naming, that will come later. If the player presses right, i have an image of a guy facing right. Left, up, and down same concept. if he holds the button, the guy "runs" Now i hav normal position, and running position. 4 rows, 2 columns in a png file, how to load 1 row for respective key?
