Hello @winged violet, what is the whole error message?

Remember to always show the whole error message, even if you're not sure that it helps.

in ```py
self.image = pygame.image.load(f"{path}{image}.png")

- escape it in the string: `f"{path}\\{image}.png"` by adding another backslash, it makes it actually just one
- make it a raw string: `rf"{path}\{image}.png"` by adding `r` as another "string flag", it ignores all character escapes

generally for more cleaner code, i'd recommend utilizing pathlib instead of dealing with raw string paths

never worked with it and the project is not something ill continue working on so it isnt really a problem, but ill keep it in mind when ill be working on later projects
