Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

if you're trying to share files, you can't.

that sucks

#

how does this work

random coral
#

no it doesn't

bold rose
random coral
#

you know what does suck

#

viruses

bold rose
#

ah i think i got it

karmic schooner
#

nice

random coral
#

can you say what the problem is?

#

are you getting any error?

bold rose
#

no errors

random coral
#

ok

bold rose
#

when i launch the code:
-the first block dissapears after you place it
-the block you are currently placing has a copy of it and its overlaping

random coral
#

it's a pretty long code so if you're not sharing what the problem is it would be very hard to spot it like that

bold rose
#

thats the first block

#

when i place it this happens

image.png
#

the first block i placed dissapears and the next one i gets a copy of it

bold rose
#

and the previous copy dissapears too

#

the only block that stops is the red one at the beginning

#

but it disappears for some reason

random coral
#

new block is placed with down key right?

ember geyser
#

I don't know if this is the issue, but new_block = blocks[-1] doesn't make a copy. That makes that refer to the other block.

bold rose
random coral
#

ok

#

OK so it doesn't disappear you're just changing it

bold rose
#

changing it?

random coral
#

yes and then you also add a copy of it to the lisg

#

wait I'll show

# 
else:
                        new_block = blocks[-1]
                        new_block.y -= 20
                        new_block.color = (random.randint(0, 255), random.randint(0, 255), random.randint(0, 255))
                        new_block.speed += 0.5
                        blocks.append(Block(0, new_block.y, new_block.width, new_block.height, new_block.color, new_block.speed))
                        score += 1 ```
#

this else block runs when there are 1 or less blocks

#

so it will always run at the start

#

the first line takes the initial block and calls it "new_block"

#

blocks = [initial_block]

bold rose
random coral
#

this is the same as saying new_block = initial_block

bold rose
#

blocks stop now

#

the second one dissapears now

#

and there is a moving copy instead

#

and its impossible to lose the game now

#

blocks get smaller for every part you miss, like intended

#

but if you miss while placing the block the game continues on

#

like so

#

@random coral i ask your assistance

#

lend me your help

#

i guess this post is not relevant anymore, since its old

random coral

give a minute hehe

without looking at the code I can see that the collision checking only works partly. it places it on the correct height but it it doesn't check the horizontal collision

#

so make sure to check horizontal overlap as well

#

that invisible block is pretty weird, it might take me a while to find this bug

bold rose
bold rose
#

the clone of the block is still appearing while placing

#

the second block, doesnt have a copy

#

until its gone

#

the following blocks have a copy

bold rose
random coral
#

can you update the code

bold rose
#

sure

random coral
#

doesn't work

bold rose
#

this one should
