I want to access a spaceship image with pygame.image.load(), so I wrote
self.image =
pygame.image.load("C:Users\Chris\Documents\python\assignment07\chris_graphics\spaceship.gif")
However, I got this error message:
error: Couldn't open
C:Users\Chris\Documents\python\assignment07\chris_graphics\spaceship.gif
I can't give pygame.image.load a path? Does anyone know how I would load an
image located in a seperate directory?
Since \ is used to "escape" certain characters it is advisable to either
use \\ or preface the string with r.
"C:Users\\Chris\\ etc.
OR r"C:Users\Chris\
That *might* solve your problem. it is unfortunate that the error
messages say can't open rather than file not found.
