No need to place him on the map itself, as long as you position the player so that he is aligned with the background. I assume you are doing scrolling? If you are scrolling by moving, the background, blit the player this way: self.screen.blit(self.playerimgs[self.frame], (self.x+backgroundx,self.y+backgroundy)) Your way would work if you create a new copy each time: this_frame_bg = self.background.copy() this_frame_bg.blit(self.playerimgs[self.frame], (self.x,self.y)) But it is probably slower to copy a whole surface like this.
