You haven't said what it's supposed to do or what the problem is.

[carmine hornet]

It's a bossfight game, and when I press start in the menu it instantly crashes, I can't even ctrl+c the error

[cold glade]

Are you running it by double clicking the script icon?

[carmine hornet]

I double click the .py file, the window pops up, and then when I press start it crashes, so ye

[cold glade]

Ya, don't run scripts that way during development. It prevents you from seeing errors. Run the code via the terminal instead.

[carmine hornet]

ok

File "C:\Users\myname\Desktop\Szafki\Szafka 2\Python\Pythoni-GiBoss-God.py", line 157, in <module>
game_loop()
~~~~~~~~~^^
File "C:\Users\myname\Desktop\Szafki\Szafka 2\Python\Pythoni-GiBoss-God.py", line 133, in game_loop
player_pos += vel
^^^^^^^^^^
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'player_pos' where it is not associated with a value

Yeah I got the code from chatgpt because I don't know how to code

[cold glade]

You're attempting to reassign the global player_pos without declaring it to be a global. You need to add that name to the existing global statement at the top of the function.

[carmine hornet]

Oh that is why crashes, but what about the game loop

[cold glade]

AI-generated code is buggy and broken. You will be running into petty issues like this constantly if you're having it generate code without understanding what it's generating.

[carmine hornet]

how to fix the game loop thing?

[cold glade]

What about the game loop?

[carmine hornet]

File "C:\Users\myname\Desktop\Szafki\Szafka 2\Python\Pythoni-GiBoss-God.py", line 157, in <module>
game_loop()

[cold glade]

That's the same error. That's a stack trace showing you where the error is.

[carmine hornet]

Do I need to add it to <module> for it to work properly?

[cold glade]

I said what you need to fix here: #1429469180964376787 message

[carmine hornet]

To global, amirite

[cold glade]

Yes, you need to add the name to the global statement with the other names.

[carmine hornet]

Okay so the answer was right in front of my nose

Thank for helping

Will post it on my itch io page (it's a second gen game because it's in fullscreen, first gen ones were in a window) after I fix it
