Hi everyone I'm trying to make my first game using pygame and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I get an error in Main() saying that "classes.classprotagonist.motion()" needs argument 'self'. When I comply with this it gives another error saying 'self' is not defined. I'm stuck since
Main.py.

import pygame, sys
import classes
pygame.init()
WIDTH,HEIGHT = 1920 ,900
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH,HEIGHT),0,32)
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
FPS = 30
protagonist= classes.classprotagonist(0 ,HEIGHT-150, 150 ,150, "imagesgame/protagonist3.png")
while True:
##PROCESSES
for event in pygame.event.get(): ## for game to close properly
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit()
keys = pygame.key.get_pressed() ##assigning keys
if keys[pygame.K_d]:
protagonist.velx = 5
elif keys [ pygame.K_a]:
protagonist.velx = -5
else:
protagonist.velx = 0
##LOGIC
classes.classprotagonist.motion() ##HERE'S WHERE I GET THE ERROR
##DRAW
screen.fill((255,255,255)) ##setting screen white and drawing
classes.BaseClass.allsprites.draw(screen)
pygame.display.flip()
clock.tick (FPS)
