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.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

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.

Why make AlienBullet class?

serene solar
#

for aliens

#

to fire bullets

autumn finch
#

But they're no different from Bullet class

serene solar
#

yeah but

#

i dont want same bullets

#

like the same image

autumn finch
#

Could put that as a separate parameter in the init

serene solar
#

class Bullet(Sprite):
    def __init__(self, ai_game, bullet_type):
        super().__init__()
        self.screen = ai_game.screen
        self.screen_rect = self.screen.get_rect()
        self.settings = ai_game.settings

        if bullet_type == "player":
            self.image = pygame.image.load('bullet.jpg')
        elif bullet_type == "alien":
            self.image = pygame.image.load('LaserBeam.jpg')

        self.rect = self.image.get_rect()

        if bullet_type == "player":
            self.rect.midtop = ai_game.player_ship.rect.midtop
        elif bullet_type == "alien":
            self.rect.midtop = alien.rect.midtop

        self.y = float(self.rect.y)

    def update(self):
        self.y -= self.settings.bullet_speed
        self.rect.y = self.y

    def draw_bullet(self):
        self.screen.blit(self.image,self.rect)

thank me if you want

You can fix the timer thing by following the logic of the fleet
