My character is able to move properly. However, when no key is being pressed, a problem arises. How do I make it so when no KEY is being pressed, the sprite will face the same direction it was last facing? For example, if I press the UP, it would face up and then when I don't press any other key, it would still face UP? Same with the other directions too. Also, how I would display my character when first starting up the game? Like, my character only shows up when a key is pressed and remains invisible when not.
Here's my code:
Sprites:
# Protagonist Sprites
protagR = [pygame.image.load("ASG2_Graphics/JoArrow_R1_1.png"), pygame.image.load("ASG2_Graphics/JoArrow_R1_2.png"), pygame.image.load("ASG2_Graphics/JoArrow_R1_3.png"), pygame.image.load("ASG2_Graphics/JoArrow_R1_2.png"), pygame.image.load("ASG2_Graphics/JoArrow_R1_1.png")]

pygame.display.update()
As you can see, I tried having a currentSprite() variable and a stillSprite() function to try and store the last key pressed but to no avail. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
