You get that kind of error when you use a recursive function, and it recurses
down further than Python has room on the stack for. Typically, when you get
this error, there's something wrong with your recursive function. What it
appears to be doing is within your add function, its calling itself again. I
think you might be wanting to call super(C, self).add(spr) where C is the class
you created which has the add method.

enemies.add(random.choice(("enemyblue.png", "enemycyan.png",

pygame.display.set_caption("PyStarFighter") #tell player it's done
is causing this problem:

add
self.add(spr)
####alot of the same message####
