Python Forum

Hello all,

I am creating a snake game with Python, in Turtle.
For this project, I am using this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrOqlfMu...anThompson

The code I wrote is: https://pastebin.com/hAJhqu29

And the error I am getting is:
raise Terminator
turtle.Terminator

I tried looking online but I couldn't find help.

BTW- I am not using Pygame on purpose, since I am still a beginner and I want to learn the "basics".

Thanks in advance for your reply!

You don't ever move the object. Take a look at the goto() function in the docs. Also, your variables are local to the functions, so x, y, and head.direction are garbage collected when the function exits and so the code calling these functions never has access to any changes, i.e. if the object was moving, it would move to the same place; see this link on passing variable to, and returning them from a function http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/pyt...ctions.htm A test program from my toolbox that could use some modifications

from turtle import *
from random import *
import time

setup(600,500)

maxx = 300
maxy = 250
minx= -maxx
miny= - maxy

title ("shooting ball")
bgcolor('grey')
ball=Turtle()

ball.penup()
ball.shape("circle")
ball.shapesize(3,3,3)
ball.color("blue")
bounce_point = 20

x = randint(minx + bounce_point, maxx + bounce_point)
y = randint(miny + bounce_point, maxy + bounce_point)
ball.goto(x,y)

ball.showturtle()

dx = 10
dy = 10
ctr = 0

while ctr < 200:  ## set a reasonable limit
    ctr += 1
    xx = x + dx

    ## test for sides of bounding box
    ## and reverse direction if found
    if xx < minx+bounce_point:
        xx = minx + bounce_point
        dx = -dx

    if xx > maxx - bounce_point:
        xx = maxx- bounce_point
        dx = -dx

    yy=y+dy
    if yy < miny + bounce_point:
        yy= miny + bounce_point
        dy = -dy


    if xx > maxx - bounce_point:
        xx = maxx- bounce_point
        dx = -dx

    yy=y+dy
    if yy < miny + bounce_point:
        yy= miny + bounce_point
        dy = -dy

    if yy > maxy + bounce_point:
        yy = maxy + bounce_point
        dy = -dy

    x = xx
    y = yy
    ball.goto(x,y)

    time.sleep(0.01)  ## allow time for a screen update
