I'm new here, so I hope my question will be clear enough! I'm trying to create a Breakout game using Python n Turtle. I created my lists of blocks and my main block to .clone() but wenn the ball reaches the top of the game, where the blocks are, it only erases the first block...

Paul Thank you Paul! Was a big help, I a step closer to finishing this project! I changed my code, Breaks were def. a problem. now it works better, but when my ball touches the first box of a row, the whole row "hides"... And if the ball goes back to the, now, empty row, it still thinks there is something... Do you have a clue? I tried to box[n][i].clear() but it doesn't accept the command?! # COLLISION WITH BLOCKS elif ball.ycor() > 356: for n in range(len(all_blocks)): for i in range(len(blocks_row1)): if (ball.xcor() - all_blocks[n][i].xcor() < 20) and \ (ball.ycor() - all_blocks[n][i].ycor() < 40): all_blocks[n][i].hideturtle() ball.setheading(360 - ball.heading()) ball.forward(ball_speed) break I'm REALLY thankful for any help! THX again! Posts: 741 Threads: 122 Joined: Dec 2017 Nov-17-2020, 04:57 PM (This post was last modified: Nov-17-2020, 04:57 PM by DPaul.) I found it clever that you draw the boxes as turtle-shapes, so you can hide them when hit. It's difficult to identify with your logic in a few minutes  but probably the problem is in lines 5-6-7. You hide the turtle, but how does the block vector know the turtle has gone? but how do you check that the turtle has gone? If it remains a problem, maybe another approach is helpful. Draw the rectangles not as turtle-shapes but as simple rectangles in different colors. Hiding is than simply redrawing the box with the background color = invisible ! Your 3 horizontal vectors could contain [1,1,1,1,1..] at the start and when one block is hit : [1,1,0,1,1,...] Just an idea.

Found the problem, it was indeed in line 5-6-7! I forgot to une the abs()! ^^ (stupid mistake) BTW: an other mistake: # COLLISION WITH BOX CHECK def collision_block_check(): global nr_blocks_left for n in range(len(all_blocks)): for i in range(len(blocks_row1)): if (abs(ball.xcor() - all_blocks[n][i].xcor()) < 40) and \ (abs(ball.ycor() - all_blocks[n][i].ycor()) < 20) and (all_blocks[n][i].isvisible() == True): all_blocks[n][i].hideturtle() ball.setheading(ball.heading() * -1) nr_blocks_left -= 1 all_blocks[n][i].isvisible() == True looks if the block is still visible or not. if TRUE it will hide the .turtle and if FALSE it will move as it should. Last problem to finishing the game are the boarder restrictions -_- (... yeah, kind of stupid, but I have a brain F*** somewhere) # WN SIDE LIMIT def side_limit_check(): if ball.xcor() <= (BORDER_LEFT + 10) or ball.xcor() >= (BORDER_RIGHT-10): ball.setheading(ball.heading() * -1) doesn't work as it should and not sure why  Hope we/I could help someone else have the same issue with the collider ^^ Posts: 741 Threads: 122 Joined: Dec 2017 Hi, I saw that left and right there is a small problem. Just a thought, but left : -500+10 = -490 is too far left. Try +50 or something. (And the same to the right of course. Paul Posts: 6 Threads: 1 Joined: Nov 2020 Hi Paul, Yeah, at the end the "bounce off" solution was kind of obvious for the sides ^^ Solution: ball.setheading(180 + -ball.heading()) Now i'm done!  on to the next project!
