How do I add an image to the turtle screen without getting an error?

I have seen other people ask this question and I have looked it up. However, I still get the same error. Error: 'str' object has no attribute '_type'. Here is my code:

from turtle import *
setup(600,600)
Screen()
sc = Screen()
alien = os.path.expanduser("~/Desktop/AlienGameImage.gif")
sc.register_shape(alien)
t = Turtle()
t.shape(alien)
mainloop()

I have also tried:

sc.addshape(alien)
Solution

  • tried your code and i had the same error, with few changes it worked perfectly for me :

    from turtle import *
sc = Screen()
sc.setup(600,600)
alien = r"folder\giftest.gif"
sc.register_shape(alien)
t = Turtle()
t.shape(alien)
mainloop()
