Super helpful! I just started using pygame today and I'm already so excited about what I can do with it. Thank you so much for this video!

How did a 70-views video show up in my recommended?
Anyways, I'm glad it did! Even though it's not something I was looking for right now it definitely was still interesting and something I'm looking forward to add to my little game! Thanks!

Hey, I was on the Third video of your Shooter game. I was a bit confused with Sprites and wanted to watch one video wholly dedicated on it. But I couldn't find the perfect one. What a great Timing. Thank you for Uploading this, I'm gonna watch this first and then Continue the shooter game.
You contents are DOPE 💥💥.I would love to watch you making a car game with pygame.
Thanks

Dude, your such a fucking G for making this tutorial, I can't wait for my game to be fully coded, with physics and shit.

Very helpful. Now I have to figure out how to do this with a grid sprite sheet.

Im counting on u ;-; You will be de best PyYouTuber

Please I need your help! How can I put the animation in a rectangle??

[Endermens_Nikos]

Hi Russ, thanks for your tutorial video, now i'll screw up less)

[circuitsparkz]

how could you make it so, if you press a key to play the animation it'll only once until you click that key again?

[zackking]

i use this for 8 directional movement and more, but 4 images in each step and 8 in an animation to spin around and if i move while on a frame above 4 i get error and crash because move images are 1-4

[artemgrigoriev]

how do you then store this animation code in a player class, to then be able to bind it to "player" and be able to move in the x and y?

[darren-hannahtilly]

Hay Russ, first off fantastic tutorials! I am following along trying to create a fairy version for my daughter. However, I am having problems with the collisions with my rectangle, I think it is covering the whole picture frame and not just the image inside. How do I fix this problem?

[BlyatifulButter]

Hey Russ! May I ask what should I do with multiple spritesheets? I have one for idle animation and one for running but I don't want to merge them together. This is a 5 month old video so I guess you'll never respond but I'll put it out anyway. I appreciate your video though! Great tutorial.
