Python error ValueError size needs to be int width int height while using pygame Surface

Question

I'm trying to build a game on python using pygame. I am stuck with this error:

self._image_surf = pygame.Surface("pygame.png").convert()
ValueError: size needs to be (int width, int height)

Can you help me out?

Lines causing error:

pygame.display.set_caption('Pygame pythonspot.com example')
self._running = True
self._image_surf = pygame.Surface("pygame.png").convert()

Answer 1

pygame.Surface takes in integer values for building the image. You're giving an image as the parameter which is syntactically wrong.

Try:

pygame.Surface(100, 100)

This should work.
