I'm making a space invaders type project for school, and when I'm using my teachers menu example, it crashes whenever I click the game menu, how do I fix this

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.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

this is my code

dense badger
#

what's the error?

#

I can't run your code because you didn't provide all the files

formal dragon
#

is there a way too or no

dense badger
#

can you just tell me the error

#

like what's the traceback

formal dragon
#

it definitely is not a computer issue

dense badger
#

how are you running the code

formal dragon

and what happens when you click on the menu

#

more specifically than "crashes"

# dense badger more specifically than "crashes"

so theres 4 buttons when i start up the program
game
instructions
credits
story

instructions credits story are all just a simple png inside of them, that has text corresponding to what it says, i can click x to exit out go back to the main menu
when i click on game specifically, it doesn't allow me to do anything else, i also have a highlight on anything i select and when i select it it stays on green

dense badger
#

so it freezes?

#

and the code does not exit?

#

okay just fyi when you say 'crash' in programming people expect that the program has stopped altogether so that's pretty different from what has happened

formal dragon
#

o okay

dense badger
#

because your code is still running but it's just not updating the display

#

the problem is that you're not calling display.flip()

like here for example
