here's my code i'm using the python turtle package:
#setup
import turtle
wn = turtle.Screen()
obj = turtle.Turtle()
go = True
def restart(x, y, go = go):
go = False
print(go)
wn.onscreenclick(restart)
wn.listen()
#main loop
while go:
wn.update()
obj.forward(0.1)
print("game ended")
when i click the screen it should stop do the code after. the loop won't stop and it won't say "game ended" i am not sure why.
I need help. thanks!
You're defining a local variable go in your restart function, when you set it to False you are only changing the local variable's value not the go variable from the outer scope
def restart(x, y, go=go): # This keyword argument is creating a local variable
Just remove the argument and you will then modify the correct variable
def restart(x, y):
go = False
Along with your global variable issue, that @IainShelvington points out, I recommend you redesign your program to use turtle timer events:
from turtle import Screen, Turtle
def restart(x, y):
global running
running = False
def move():
if running:
turtle.forward(0.1)
screen.ontimer(move)
else:
screen.bye()
turtle = Turtle()
screen = Screen()
screen.onscreenclick(restart)
running = True
move()
screen.mainloop()
print("game ended")
