no idea. I added a couple lines, and if the character is above the floor it drops to it and stops.

import pygame
from sys import exit

surface_image='books.jpg'
snail_image='moon.jpg'
character_image='cat_ninja.png'

pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_caption('Runner')
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800, 600))  
surface = pygame.image.load(surface_image)
font=pygame.font.SysFont('Arial',55)
text=font.render("Mygame",False,(25,255,111))
text_rect=text.get_rect(center=(400,100))

snail=pygame.image.load(snail_image)
snail_rect=snail.get_rect(midbottom=(800,480))
snail_rect.left=800

character=pygame.image.load(character_image)
character_rect=character.get_rect(midbottom=(100,480))
character_gravity=0

clock=pygame.time.Clock()
while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()       
            exit()
        if event.type==pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            print("mousedown")
            if character_rect.collidepoint(event.pos):
                print('click')
                character_gravity=-20

        if event.type==pygame.KEYDOWN:
            print("keydown")
            if event.key==pygame.K_SPACE:
                character_gravity=-20
    
    screen.blit(surface,(0,0))
    pygame.draw.rect(screen,'#c0e8ec',text_rect)
    pygame.draw.rect(screen,'#c0e8ec',text_rect,20)
    screen.blit(text,text_rect)
    screen.blit(snail,snail_rect)
    screen.blit(character,character_rect)
    mouse_pos=pygame.mouse.get_pos()

    if snail_rect.left not in range(0,800+1):
       snail_rect.left=800
    snail_rect.right-=1          
        
    print(character_rect.bottom)
    if character_rect.bottom >= 580:
        character_rect.bottom = 580
        character_gravity = 0  
    character_gravity+=1
    character_rect.y+=character_gravity
    if character_rect.colliderect(snail_rect):
        print('Game Over')
        pygame.quit()
        exit()

    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

I had to change it to 580 instead of 480 because my images bottom was already at 481

so I never saw it move

but now it doprs, stops and when the snail reaches it the game ends

the character drops and then stops when gravity is zero and the snail moves to the left until it reaches the character

ah I see.

because once you hit the bottom, you add +1 and move it.

you want the floor check after that.

yes now it works

        character_gravity = 0  

    pygame.display.update()
    clock.tick(60)

you'll need to update the image names.

but the important part is that the character reset happens after you move it.

also, I just added a snail_speed value and made the snail go a little faster every time you jump.

fun

decades. lol.

I use mostly python now, but did a lot more in c/c#/c++, perl, and javascript
