Tkinter -> canvas: location of .gif from arrow event

[TMS]

Is there any way of determining the location of a gif grom an arrow event? For example I have a canvas that has a gif that moves and I want the arrow to move the gif. But how does the arrow know where the gif is? There is event.x that tells where the curser is, but how can one determine the location based on a keyboard arrow event?

You'll need to be keeping track of that in your software, somewhere.
I kinda like the idea of a class object that travels around and can alway be asked where on the grid it is. You know, basically:

class traveler:
    # has a gif for display, etc set up in __init__()
    def GetLocation()
        return self.x, self.y

AS AN EXAMPLE of what I'm thinking of.

Sounds like a fun project. I hope that you are enjoying youself and having FUN...

want the truth? NO, I'm not enjoying it. Its the same project I've been working on. This will be yet another rewrite to get it to work. Earlier this month I was working on the 'pacman' like game, well, I'm still working on it. Can't seem to get it right, and I'm about to give up.
