During Monday through Friday, I worked on creating a platforming shooter game. I spent classes Monday through Friday following a multi-step tutorial to create the image placement, how to stop the image from creating a trail, the movement system, and the beginning of the image animation.

import pygame

pygame.init()


SCREEN_WIDTH = 800
SCREEN_HEIGHT = int(SCREEN_WIDTH * 0.8)

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT))
pygame.display.set_caption('Shooter')

#set framerate
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
FPS = 60

#define player action variable
moving_left = False
moving_right = False


#define color
BG = (144, 201, 120)

def draw_bg():
    screen.fill(BG)


class Soldier(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self, char_type, x, y, scale, speed):
        pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
        self.char_type = char_type
        self.speed = speed
        self.direction = 1
        self.flip = False
        self.animation_list = []
        self.frame_index = 0
        self.update_time = pygame.time.get_ticks()
        for i in range(5):
            img = pygame.image.load(f'img/{self.char_type}/Idle/{i}.png')
            img = pygame.transform.scale(img, (int(img.get_width() * scale), int(img.get_height() * scale)))
            self.animation_list.append(img)
        self.image = self.animation_list[self.frame_index]
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
        self.rect.center = (x, y)

    def move(self, moving_left, moving_right):
        #reset movement variables
        dx = 0
        dy = 0

        #assign movement variables if moving left or right
        if moving_left:
            dx = -self.speed
            self.flip = True
            self.direction = -1
        if moving_right:
            dx = self.speed
            self.flip = False
            self.direction = 1

        #update rectangle position
        self.rect.x += dx
        self.rect.y += dy


    def update_animation(self):
        #update animation
        ANIMATION_COOLDOWN = 100
        #check if enough time has passed since the last update
        if pygame.time.get_ticks() - self.update_time > ANIMATION_COOLDOWN:
            self.update_time = pygame.time.get_ticks()
            self.frame_index += 1



    
    def draw(self):
        screen.blit(pygame.transform.flip(self.image, self.flip, False), self.rect)
    


player = Soldier('player', 200, 200, 3, 5)
enemy = Soldier('enemy', 400, 200, 3, 5)

run = True
while run:

    clock.tick(FPS)

    draw_bg()

    player.draw()
    enemy.draw()

    player.move(moving_left, moving_right)

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        #quit game
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
        #keyboard presses
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_a:
                moving_left = True
            if event.key == pygame.K_d:
                moving_right = True
            if event.key == pygame.K_ESCAPE:
                run = False


        #keyboard button released
        if event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
            if event.key == pygame.K_a:
                moving_left = False
            if event.key == pygame.K_d:
                moving_right = False


    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()

this is what I have of the project done.
