i'm trying to learn OOP, python and pygame at the same time. so far it has
been ok, but i stumbled onto a problem
here is the code that causes problems
#!/usr/bin/python3.1
import pygame
pygame.init()
class BaseSprite(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init(self, imagefile):
super(type(self), self).__init__()
self.image = pygame.image.load(imagefile)
self.image = self.image.convert()
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
class Cloud(BaseSprite):
"""
cloud sprite
scrolls down and moves side to side when it is reset
"""
IMAGE = 'cloud.gif'
def __init__(self):
super(type(self), self).__init__(type(self).IMAGE)
def main():
cloud = Cloud()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
when i run i get the following error:
