Can you copy and paste the code rather than taking a photograph?

#

I’m trying to see if the player is on the screen but this line of code has been working this whole time so I’m a bit confused

#

Yea for sure hold on

I think it's an indentation issue on line 25

import pygame
import time
import random

WIDTH, HIGHT = 1000, 700
WIN = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HIGHT))
pygame.display.set_caption("space dodge")

BG = pygame.transform.scale(pygame.image.load("Space-Background-Image-2.jpg"), (WIDTH, HIGHT))

PLAYER_WIDTH = 40
PLAYER_HEIGHT = 60

def draw(player):

WIN.blit(BG, (0, 0))

pygame.draw.rect(WIN, "blue", player)

pygame.display.update()

def main():
run = True

player = pygame.Rect(200, HIGHT - PLAYER_HEIGHT,
PLAYER_WIDTH, PLAYER_HEIGHT)

while run:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False
            break

    draw(player)

pygame.quit()

if name == "main":
main()

Sorry what’s codeblocked I’m new to coding

river spruce

As I said previously, I believe you want to indent line 25

wary silo
#

river spruce
#

Indentation

Indentation and white space in python is very important for defining blocks of code. It does not use the curly brace syntax many other languages use for this.
For code to be inside an if, while/for loop or function etc. it should be indented like the below. The indentation should also be consistent. Here is an example using a for loop:

for i in range(10):
    print("This lines prints while the loop is running")
    print(i)
print("This line prints after the loop has finished")

#

so how would i do that here sorry im haveing a hard time understanding

arctic heart
#

Put the cursor at the start of the line and press the space bar key on your keyboard 4 times

river spruce
#

or use tab

wary silo
#

omg its fixed lol thank you guys so much

river spruce
#

if u use tab it should indent it however your editor is expecting you too, or how the rest of your indents are
