• 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.

heres the code they give too u right of the bat

# Define the platform and ball variables.
### (HINT: You can't see the left-top of the platform so try to position it by
#          using a different alignment!)
### Fix Your Code Here ###
# platform =
# ball =

def onMousePress(mouseX, mouseY):
    # Rotate the platform and bounce the ball.
    ### (HINT: Change the ball's bottom so that it matches the platform's top.)
    ### Place Your Code Here ###
    pass```

Hey @thin scaffold!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

Can you paste the question as text?

[thin scaffold]

you mean the code?

like this stuff?

i started it a little with chat gpt but i think the free version is really bad lol

[viscid venture]

What's your question tho? This is 2.4 of the course, did you successfully solve everything before this?

[thin scaffold]

my dad helped me through most of it but i didnt really understand much because im on a time constraint

basiclly

[viscid venture]

How's that going to help then?

[thin scaffold]

i have to make the ball bounce while it moves

i can send u a video

[viscid venture]

Do you know how to move the ball?

[thin scaffold]

nope lol

dont really know anything

about the moving stuff

i do understand the mouse realease stuff

[viscid venture]

I really can't help you then. If you didn't learn the previous steps, you need to go back to the beginning and make sure you understand. The course only gets harder

[thin scaffold]

im planning on doing it but i dont have the time right now because i got other stuff to study for

i just need taht this is due tonight and i have no way of understanding it in a pinch

[viscid venture]

I'm not going to do your work, and nobody on this server will.

We're here to help ppl learn, not help them not learn.

[thin scaffold]

understandable lol

[viscid venture]

(Tbf, I can relate... I've let myself get in this situation before)

[thin scaffold]

[thin scaffold]

i try not to let this stuff happen but i had a robotics compeition yesterday which lasted the whole day and now i gotta do alot of work lol
