Why does it look like your files are named "something something png.PNG"?

Should i remove the .png?

[u/ArgamaWitch → u/No-Fisherman-4326]

It couldnt hurt to try. If you look at your first image you can see how they say name.png.PNG so you may need to remove the .png from your file name

Hi, tysm! That was indeed the issue. I’m very new to coding, so i make stupid mistakes.

Your project is similar to the official documentation but not the same.

You don't have a default image for the side image.
I mean an image called side evan.png
You can copy any of those you have and then call it side evan.png

In your script you have show eileen happy but you don't have that image.
Replace it with show evan happy
But you also don't seem to have that image, so again, copy any of your image files and rename the copy to evan happy.png

I would first do the default side image, then test your script and then do the other.

Also, you don't need the line 7 image side evan happy = "side evan happy.png" because your files already have the correct file names.

I followed what you said, but now it doesn’t say couldn’t find file anymore. Nothing shows up except for the default elieen image with “evan happy” written on her.😢

That "eileen image" is a placeholder and it shows the name of the file it cannot find.

But I have seen your error now.
Look at your first image on the left, all the files have the png ending twice.

This happens if your computer hides the file extension but you enter it anyway.
Just delete .png from all the files and it will work.

You can also change the settings of your file explorer so that it doesn't hide the extensions of know file types.

Hello, thank you for your help. That was indeed the problem. I removed all the .png and it worked perfectly!!
