I am making a game using pyGame; it is basically a space invader game, with a tank.

Game screenshot showing forest scene with a tank sprite inside a white rectangle

As we can see, this tank image I have has white borders / a white background, which I really want to get rid of.

I am thinking of editing it out, but it would be replaced by a different colour. Is there any way to somehow cut out this tank image from its original rectangular box?

Use a file format that supports alpha (png), an editor that can save it with a transparent background (gimp2, photoshop, basically not paint) and make sure you load the sprite correctly
