[PyGame] Sprite image rotation problem

[XavierPlatinum]

I'm likely just blind, but I can't find the reason my pygame sprite image (which is just a pygame.Surface) is a solid, filled square that grows and shrinks rather than rotates. Rather, it is rotating and the rect is growing and shrinking as it rotates, which is good, but I only see a box that changes size. It seems to rotate the the image then fills the resulting rect with the image's fill colour.

        self.original_img = pg.Surface((50, 50))
        self.original_img.fill((100, 55, 10))
        self.rect = self.original_img.get_rect()
        self.image = self.original_img

####   then....

        self.image = pg.transform.rotate(self.original_img, self.rot)
        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

#### then....
         screen.blit(self.player.image, self.player.rect)

Do I have a typo? There aren't and extra fill()s or anything else that I can see impacting the image. I missed the focused frustration of coding, but this is pretty simple for me to be stuck on lol.

Thanks in advance.

Its because you didn't use and alpha.

self.original_img = pg.Surface((50, 50), pygame.SRCALPHA)

If using image. Make sure you convert_alpha() on it.

You also might want to keep it in center.

self.rect = self.image.get_rect(center=self.rect.center)

Thank you very much, I appreciate your time. Gee, I've really forgot more than I thought during my away time.

For the centering I have a player.pos I center to. If memory serves, I used to do that for use in animation later. But for now I get to frustrate myself with movement and shooting! haha. Coding is fun.
