So, I am starting with python in a mac Lion, and I am trying to make my first program with an image: here is the code of the program
import pygame, sys
from pygame.locals import *
pygame.init()
FPS = 30
fpsClock = pygame.time.Clock()
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((400, 300), 0, 32)
pygame.display.set_caption('Animation');
WHITE = (255, 255, 255)
catImg = pygame.image.load("cat.png")
catx = 10
caty = 10
direction = 'right'
while True:
DISPLAYSURF.fill(WHITE)
if direction == 'right':
catx += 5
if catx == 280:
direction = 'down'
elif direction == 'down':
caty += 5
if caty == 220:
direction = 'left'
elif direction == 'left':
catx -= 5
if catx == 10:
direction = 'up'
elif direction == 'up':
caty -= 5
if caty == 10:
direction = 'right'
DISPLAYSURF.blit(catImg, (catx, caty))
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
pygame.display.update()
fpsClock.tick(FPS)
When the program runs, there is a mistake:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "catanimation.py", line 13, in <module>
catImg = pygame.image.load("cat.png")
pygame.error: File is not a Windows BMP file
What could be the cause of this problem
INFO: Instead of an image I used a surface and It worked good. I suspect the problem might be related to my pygame installation but I'm not sure
