Weird Pygame Error

I'm creating a game, and I've made a world map image using paint.NET. I saved it as a JPEG file and am trying to load and blit it to a Pygame frame. Here is my code:

    import pygame
    import sys
    from pygame.locals import *

    Surface = pygame.display.set_mode ((1000, 775)), 0, 32)
    pygame.display.set_caption ('World Map')
    white = (255, 255, 255)
    pygame.image.load ('WorldMap.jpg')
    while True:
        Surface.fill (white)
        WorldMap.blit(Surface, (900, 675))
        for event in pygame.event.get ():
            if event.type == QUIT:
                pygame.quit ()
                sys.exit(0)
         pygame.display.update()

My error is that it tells me that it cannot load WorldMap.jpg

In the code you posted, the image isn't assigned to a variable and the blitting is backwards:

    pygame.image.load ('WorldMap.jpg')
    while True:
        Surface.fill (white)
        WorldMap.blit(Surface, (900, 675))

should be:

    WorldMap = pygame.image.load('WorldMap.jpg')
    while True:
        Surface.fill(white)
        Surface.blit(WorldMap, (900, 675))

Try specifying a full path to the jpg file.

If it still fails, please update your question to include the full error you get.

For whatever reason it isn't loading the image. Here are some steps you can take to attempt to resolve this issue:

  • Attempt to open the image in an external viewer. If you cannot view it it may be corrupt or have permissions issues.
  • Check the permissions settings on the image.
  • Make sure the image is in the same folder as the python script
  • Ensure the image is actually a jpeg image. Did you perhaps save it as a bitmap (BMP) but change the file extension to JPG without changing the format?

Beyond this I cannot be of much help without seeing the entire error and knowing what you found in each of these steps.
