How To Load Image Using Pygame.image.load()?

I just want to know the syntax. How do I load an image using pygame.image.load() ? Let's take an example, I want to load an image called cat.png - and type this pygame.image.load('

Solution 1:

By default, Python only searches in your current directory for files, however, if you wish to load images from a separate directory, you may find this useful: Importing images from a directory (Python)

For the syntax, I reccomend you refer to the documentation, here: https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/image.html#pygame.image.load

pygame.image.load()¶
    load new image from a file
    load(filename) -> Surface
    load(fileobj, namehint="") -> Surface

Load an image from a file source. You can pass either a filename or a Python file-like object.

Solution 2:

Any images loaded directly with

pygame.image.load('Image Name')

should be saved in the same folder as the python script that is using the image
