Runtime error when starting a game.

GKRAFT

All i wanna do at this point is to test the (soon to be) game and see that the correct sprites are were they are supposed to be.

When i run the game the background is black instead of the green color of my field.png, no other sprites are visible and after a while i get a Runtime error and the game crashes.

Any ideas?

Is your background solid green? Livewires may be converting the green pixels to transparent. Try this:
bg = games.load_image("field.png", transparent = False)
If that works, we'll have to work on your sprites next. I don't think loading the player images with pygame is a good idea. If you're going to be using livewires, you might as well let it do that stuff for you. Or you could just use pygame without livewires.
Good luck with the game.

Thanks for the tip, it took care of the runtime error.
I've played around a bit more and now i have another problem.

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "...", line 54, in <module>
game()
File "...", line 47, in game
def_safety = Player('defense',(40, 40))
File "...", line 36, in __init__
screen.blit(player_image, self.position)
TypeError: invalid destination position for blit

And here is the code:

 import pygame, math, sys

from pygame.locals import *

from livewires import games
 
# FPS

clock = pygame.time.Clock()

FRAMES_PER_SECOND = 30

deltat = clock.tick(FRAMES_PER_SECOND)
 
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1024, 768))
 
class Player(pygame.sprite.Sprite):

    player_image = pygame.image.load('49er.gif')

    def __init__(self,team,position):

        self.team = None

        self.position = None
 
        if self.team == 'offense':

            player_image = pygame.image.load('49er.gif')

        else:

            player_image = pygame.image.load('defense.gif')
 
        screen.blit(player_image, self.position)
 
def game():

    bg = pygame.image.load("field.png")

    screen.blit(bg, (0,0))
 
    #DEFENSE

    def_safety = Player('defense',(40, 40))

    def_safety.__init__()
 
    # OFFENSE

    off_tight_end = Player('offense',(100, 100))

    def_safety.__init()
 
game()

I have no idea why the "coordinates" doesn't work...

Your init function does nothing with the arguments you pass it, and assigns the members to None. It should be

     def __init__(self,team,position):

        self.team = team

        self.position = position

I hope this helps.

Ah, that was kinda obvious :)
Thanks alot!
