Ok so I am very bad at sprites and I just don't get how to use sprites with blitted images. So I was wondering, if I make the image and just make a rectangle around that object that follows that image around, would that be a good replacement for sprites, the rectangle would be the one that's colliding for instances... Or should I try learning sprites. If I should is there any tutorial that could help me with using blitted images to make sprite characters that use python 3.4? 
Thank you!
In my experience, most uses for sprites can work with rectangular collision boxes. Only if you had an instance where a ball needed to be collided with then you would have to use an actual sprite. In the long run, I would recommend learning sprites, but if you need help with sprites, the pygame documentation has loads of information!
