Good evening, I'm making a platformer and would like to know when you should use one of the both.
For example for:
1)The player controlled character
2)The textured tiles that make up the level
3)The background
Should/Could you make everything with sprites ?
I just want to know how you would do it if you were to work on a pygame project.
I ask this because I see lots of pygame tutorials that explain adding textures by using surfaces but then in other tutorials, they use sprite objects instead.
Yes you could make everything including the background with sprites. It usually does not make sense for the background though (unless you;re doing layers of some form).
The rest often make senses as sprite, but that depends on your situation.
Surfaces or Sprites in Pygame?
