I have spent three days changing my code into OOP. Im completely new to python and pygame or coding in general. Many hours of trial and error have gone into this little bit I've got. Now i've hit a point where ive created a rectangle that is changing properly, but the Surface isn't rotating with the rect. I'll insert my code here and can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong. The general idea is, for my OOP/Sprites, I want to have ONE set of animation images/Sprite map, and simply ROTATE that to face the direction pressed. I can get the RECT to work, the surface always looks up. I am FULLY aware, I could make a batch of images/animations for [up/down/left/right] and have it cycle per key press and I did this once successfully but it seems EXCEPTIONALLY redundant. Can anyone work with me on this?
