Hello. I am working on a game in python which is based off a tutorial by Lusikkamage. I have almost finished it but when I try and use collision between the player and the grass it doesn't work. When you move the player with the mouse the grass scatters all over the screen. I imported random and tried to make it work but nothing is working. HELP PLEASE. P.S. I use pygame with python, here is the code. Thanks

if (playerRect.colliderect(grassRect)):
 Gx = random.randint(1,640)
 Gy = random.randint(1,480)
 
 screen.blit(grass, (Gx, Gy))

We might be able to help you better if you provide a URL to the tutorial and more detail on what you have changed.

There's not much for us to go on here.

I have almost finished it but when I try and use collision between the player and the grass it doesn't work.
I imported random and tried to make it work but nothing is working. HELP PLEASE. P.S. I use pygame with python, here is the code.

Are Gx/Gy local variables? Where do they come from? What is their value if the 'if' statement isn't entered? What does "doesn't work" mean? What is it supposed to do?

When you move the player with the mouse the grass scatters all over the screen.local? variable position = ??? if (player is colliding with grass): position = random number draw grass at position[/quote]What is that code supposed to do? It looks like that code says:
If the player isn't touching the grass, draw it at it's default (?) position.
if the player is touching the grass, draw it at a random position (randomly chosen each frame).

I'm guessing that while the player is standing where the grass was, it 'scatters' to a new position every frame?
I'm guessing that you don't want it to continuously choose random positions? Is that the 'not working' bit? What's supposed to happen when the player collides with the grass?
