copied!<p>I'm new to python and pygame and so far ive managed to get everything working, but cant work out how to make my lives go down. </p> <p>If you haven't worked out its a simple fruit catching game. </p> <p>I've managed to make my score go up. I've tried saying if the fruit is below a certain x co ordinate take away a life but it doesn't work.</p> <pre><code>import time import random import pygame from pygame import* pygame.init() myname=input('What is your name') #set the window size window= pygame.display.set_mode((800,600) ,0,24) pygame.display.set_caption("Fruit Catch") #game variables myscore=0 mylives=3 mouth_x=300 fruit_x=250 fruit_y=75 fruitlist=['broccoli.gif','chicken.gif'] #prepare for screen myfont=pygame.font.SysFont("Britannic Bold", 55) label1=myfont.render(myname, 1, (240, 0, 0)) label3=myfont.render(str(mylives), 1, (20, 255, 0)) #grapchics fruit=pygame.image.load('data/chicken.png') mouth=pygame.image.load('data/v.gif') backGr=pygame.image.load('data/kfc.jpg') #endless loop running=True while running: if fruit_y>=460:#check if at bottom, if so prepare new fruit fruit_x=random.randrange(50,530,1) fruit_y=75 fruit=pygame.image.load('data/'+fruitlist[random.randrange(0,2,1)]) else:fruit_y+=5 #check collision if fruit_y>=440: if fruit_x>=mouth_x and fruit_x<=mouth_x+300 : myscore+=1 fruit_y=600#move it off screen pygame.mixer.music.load('data/eating.wav') #detect key events for event in pygame.event.get(): if (event.type==pygame.KEYDOWN): if (event.key==pygame.K_LEFT): mouth_x-=55 if (event.key==pygame.K_RIGHT): mouth_x+=55 label2=myfont.render(str(myscore), 1, (20, 255, 0)) window.blit(backGr,(0,0)) window.blit(mouth, (mouth_x,440)) window.blit(fruit,(fruit_x, fruit_y)) window.blit(label1, (174, 537)) window.blit(label2, (700, 157)) window.blit(label3, (700, 400)) pygame.display.update() </code></pre>
