title: I can't seem to open an image using pygame
body: <p>I am a newbie in Python following a tutorial online for making an AI learn to play Flappy bird. My problem is that I can't seem to load the images for the game that I have saved in a folder using this syntax: </p>
  
  <pre><code>BIRD_IMGS = 
  [pygame.transform.scale2x(pygame.image.load(os.path.join("imgs","bird1.png"))),
   pygame.transform.scale2x(pygame.image.load(os.path.join("imgs","bird2.png"))),
   pygame.transform.scale2x(pygame.image.load(os.path.join("imgs","bird3.png")))]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error I get is the following: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>pygame.error: Couldn't open imgs\bird1.png</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>My paths are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Web Development\Python\Flappy_Bird_AI\master.py
  C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Web Development\Python\Flappy_Bird_AI\imgs\bird1.png
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>for the code and image, respectively.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know why I'm getting this error?</p>
