Drag multiple sprites with different “update ()” methods from the same Sprite class in Pygame

Question

I\'m trying to make multiple sprites that all come from the same pygame sprite class.

class animatedSprites(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
    def __init__(self, spri

For sprite management, a Sprite Group will help you.

So during setup, do something like:

all_sprites = pygame.sprite.Group()
# create five initial sprites
for number in range(5):
    new_sprite = animatedSprites(f"Sprite {number}")
    all_sprites.add(new_sprite)

Then during your event handling:

for event in pygame.event.get():
    if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
        # set termination condition here
        …
    elif event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
        # use the click position in the name
        new_sprite = animatedSprites(f"Sprite X: {event.pos[0]} Y: {event.pos[1]}")
        all_sprites.add(new_sprite)

After processing events:

# update game state
all_sprites.update()
# draw background
…
# draw sprites
all_sprites.draw()
# update display
pygame.display.update()
