Object Oriented Sprite Example in Python using the Turtle Graphics Library

objectOrientedSprite.py

# Example of how to create a player sprite object that inherits from the object
# turtle.Turtle in Python using the 2D Turtle Graphics Module. Code posted to
# my personal github for reference teaching students at theCoderSchool in 
# Flower Mound, TX

# Launch Window using Turtle Graphics/Tkinter
import turtle
screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.setup(635, 355)

# Create Turtle Object
myTurtle = turtle.Turtle()

# Add Background
screen.bgpic("DuckHuntBackgroundBlank.jpg")

# Create Duck Sprite
class Duck(turtle.Turtle):
  def __init__(self):
    turtle.Turtle.__init__(self)

screen.addshape("DuckFlapUp.png") # Load Image Into Python Program

duck = Duck()
duck.hideturtle()
duck.shape("DuckFlapUp.png") # Show Image on Screen
duck.speed(0)
duck.penup() # prevent duck object from drawing on screen as it moves
duck.left(90) # rotate duck sprite for proper placement on screen
duck.shape("DuckFlapUp.png") # Show Image on Screen
duck.showturtle()
