I'm currently working with Python's turtle module and I have created a custom turtle shape using the "turtle.register_shape()" method. Specifically, I have loaded a rocket image from a "rocket.gif" file and set it as my turtle shape using the "my_turtle.shape()" method. Here's the image I'm using:

rocket.gif image

However, I'm having trouble making the rocket image rotate along with the turtle as it moves. I've tried using the "my_turtle.right()" and "my_turtle.setheading()" methods to rotate the image in the appropriate direction, but it doesn't seem to work.

I've included some sample code below to demonstrate what I'm currently working with:

import turtle

turtle.register_shape("rocket.gif")

my_turtle = turtle.Turtle()
my_turtle.shape("rocket.gif")

while True:
    my_turtle.forward(100)
    my_turtle.left(90)

I would greatly appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to make the rocket image rotate along with the turtle. Thank you in advance for your help!

    Sadly, this is the expected behavior [according to the docs](https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.addshape). A few existing questions seem to cover this: [1](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11277518/how-to-rotate-turtle-shape-in-python), [2](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48082783/python-turtle-rotate-custom-cursor-image), [3](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48483443/how-to-turn-turtle-shape-with-image). – ggorlen Mar 03 '23 at 05:46
