I do have all frames of the same animation in the same texture. The problem arises when doing movements by just swapping the texture coordinates. say i have a 1x2 array of vertex lists. one is the water animation and one is a static terrain tile. i animate this by switching the textureregion of the water tile and i move the scene by doing the same. but when i want to draw the static terrain in the same vertex lists where the animated water once was it is not enough to just switch the vertex list's texture region. this will just fail and display junk. my solution is to delete my two vertex lists with the water and the static terrain, and create new ones by adding them to the batch in their new positions. i seem to lack a bit understanding here and hope you get what i want to do. in case this is not clear here is the code i use for now: http://phpfi.com/352930 the vertex_list list is created with several batch.add() for each tile that are to be drawn on the screen. for movement it is then only moved max. 32 px in each direction. after that it is drawn at its original position and the textureregions are swapped. i hope you find some free time for this after pygame's end :)
