Sorry if this is a really dumb question, but I'm a beginner and trying to code a little game with Python and Pygame.
I'm trying to compare an array of possible positions on the screen to the users mouse position, by creating a def get_square_under_mousex() then looping through each member of the array using a for loop until it finds a match.
def get_square_under_mousex():
j= 0
if pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
x, y = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
for i in range(0, 14):
if POSITIONy1[i] < x < POSITIONy1[i+1]:
return i
else:
i+=1
print("this is x", POSITIONx1[i])
return i
def get_square_under_mousey():
j = 0
if pygame.MOUSEBUTTONUP:
x, y = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
for j in range(0, 9):
if POSITIONy1[j] < y < POSITIONy1[j+1]:
return j
else:
j+=1
print("this is y",POSITIONy1[j])
return j
When I run the program both of my for loops for x and y never get above 1, I have a feeling that it has to do with the main looping over it before the loop can get above 1, but I don't know how to fix that or if that's even what the problem is.
Also, when I run the game, the sprite moves regardless of the mouse being clicked or not and will move around when i move the mouse but only within the coordinates that match 1 in the array.
Any help would be much appreciated to point me in the right direction, sorry if this is stupid.
