Please read the answer to How to rotate an image(player) to the mouse direction? carefully. The calculation of the angle
degrees(atan2(x-self.rect.x, y-self.rect.y))
works by chance. It works, because atan2(x, y) == atan2(-y, x)-pi/2.
The angle of a vector (x, y) is atan2(y, x). The y-axis needs to be reversed (-y) as the y-axis is generally pointing up, but in the PyGame coordinate system the y-axis is pointing down. Most likely your Sprite points upwards and you want to compute:
angle = degrees(atan2(self.rect.y - y, x - self.rect.x)) - 90
respectively
direction = pygame.math.Vector2(x, y) - self.rect.center
angle = direction.angle_to((0, -1))
See also How to know the angle between two points?
The Sprite is drawn at the location stored in rect attribute. You don't need the x and y attribute at all. Just set the location of the rectangle (rect).
Add x and y arguments to the constructor:
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, x, y):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.image = pygame.image.load('Sprite0.png')
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center = (x, y))
Add a method move and use pygame.Rect.move_ip to change the position of the Sprite:
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
# [...]
def move(self, x, y):
self.rect.move_ip(x, y)
Invoke move, when you want to change the position of the Sprite:
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
if keys[pygame.K_w]:
player.move(0, -1)
if keys[pygame.K_s]:
player.move(0, 1)
if keys[pygame.K_a]:
player.move(-1, 0)
if keys[pygame.K_d]:
player.move(1, 0)
respectively
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
player.move(keys[pygame.K_d]-keys[pygame.K_a], keys[pygame.K_s]-keys[pygame.K_w])
A Sprite should always be contained in a pygame.sprite.Group. See pygame.sprite.Group.draw():
Draws the contained Sprites to the Surface argument. This uses the Sprite.image attribute for the source surface, and Sprite.rect for the position.
Add a Group and add the Sprite to the Group:
player = Player(200, 200)
all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group(player)
Invoke draw when you want to draw all the Sprites in the Group:
all_sprites.draw(wn)
Ensure that the rotated image is stored in the image attribute:
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__(self, x, y):
pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.original_image = pygame.image.load('Sprite0.png')
self.image = self.original_image
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center = (x, y))
def point_at(self, x, y):
direction = pygame.math.Vector2(x, y) - self.rect.center
angle = direction.angle_to((0, -1))
self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(self.original_image, angle)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center=self.rect.center)
# [...]

pygame.sprite.Sprite.__init__(self)
self.original_image = pygame.image.load('Sprite0.png')
self.image = self.original_image
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center = (x, y))
self.velocity = 5
def point_at(self, x, y):

self.image = pygame.transform.rotate(self.original_image, angle)
self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center=self.rect.center)
def move(self, x, y):
self.rect.move_ip(x * self.velocity, y * self.velocity)
player = Player(200, 200)
all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group(player)
while True:
clock.tick(60)
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
player.point_at(*pygame.mouse.get_pos())
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()
player.move(keys[pygame.K_d]-keys[pygame.K_a], keys[pygame.K_s]-keys[pygame.K_w])
wn.fill((255, 255, 255))
all_sprites.draw(wn)
pygame.display.update()
If you want to move the object in the direction of the mouse, then you have to add a direction and position attribute of type pygame.math.Vecotr2. The direction is changed in point_at and the position is changet in move, dependent on the direction. The rect attribute has to be updated.
