I’m making a pygame for a senior year school project due in less than a month and I am using a particular tutorial for PACMAN and adapting it to create my own game with a similar concept. However, as I am following this and changing the code a bit to suit my game, my character ‘mouse.png’ is not moving. I don’t know what led to this occurring, if it’s part of a particular function or wrong logic, so what how would I be able to fix this?
Here is the tutorial I am following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9H27CimgPsQ
The following code is my program:
from board import board
import pygame
import math
pygame.init()
pygame.display.set_caption('The Big Cheese Heist')
WIDTH = 600
HEIGHT = 625
screen = pygame.display.set_mode([WIDTH, HEIGHT])
timer = pygame.time.Clock()
fps = 60
font = pygame.font.Font('freesansbold.ttf', 20)
level = boards
color = 'orange'
PI = math.pi
image = (pygame.transform.scale(pygame.image.load('mouse.png'), (60, 45)))
class MySprite(pygame.sprite.Sprite):
def __init__ (self, image):
super().__init__()
self.image = image
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
my_sprite = MySprite(image)
print(my_sprite.rect.x, my_sprite.rect.y, my_sprite.rect.width, my_sprite.rect.height)
playerX = 150
playerY = 338
direction = 0
counter = 0
flicker = False
#L, R, D, U
turnsAllowed = [False, False, False, False]
directionCommand = 0
playerSpeed = 2
#drawing each tile type onto the board
def drawBoard():
num1 = ((HEIGHT - 50) // 32)
num2 = (WIDTH // 30)
for i in range (len(level)):
for j in range(len(level[i])):
if level [i][j] == 1:
pygame.draw.circle(screen, 'white', (j * num2 + (0.5 * num2), i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)), 4)
if level [i][j] == 2 and not flicker:
pygame.draw.circle(screen, 'white', (j * num2 + (0.5 * num2), i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)), 10)
if level [i][j] == 3:
pygame.draw.line(screen, color, (j * num2 + (0.5 * num2), i * num1),
(j * num2 + (0.5 * num2), i * num1 + num1), 3)
if level [i][j] == 4:
pygame.draw.line(screen, color, (j * num2, i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)),
(j * num2 + num2, i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)), 3)
if level [i][j] == 5:
pygame.draw.arc(screen, color, [(j * num2 - (num2 *0.4)) - 2, (i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)), num2, num1], 0, PI/2, 3)

if level [i][j] == 8:
pygame.draw.arc(screen, color, [(j * num2 - (num2 *0.4)) - 2, (i * num1 - (0.4 * num1)), num2, num1], 3 * PI/2, 2 * PI, 3)
if level [i][j] == 9:
pygame.draw.line(screen, 'white', (j * num2, i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)),
(j * num2 + num2, i * num1 + (0.5 * num1)), 3)

I’ve ran through the tutorial and attempted to fix up some logic and even restarted programming bits to see if I’ve made a mistake but nothing’s worked! Please help, thank you!
