I am making a spaceship game where you fire bullets at enemy spaceships and collect coins. When you click the start button, the game is supposed to start. However, when I try clicking the start button, the game doesn't start! Is something wrong with my if statement to identify if the start button is clicked?
This is my current code:
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

from tools import *
pygame.init()
pygame.font.init()

self.image = pygame.transform.scale(self.image, (175, 175))
self.rect = self.image.get_rect()
self.rect.center = (self.x, self.y)
def update(self):
"""Updates the spaceship rect"""
self.rect.center = (self.x, self.y)

self.rect.center = (self.x, self.y)

Use a pygame.Rect object and the method collidepoint:
button_rect = start_button.image.get_rect(topleft = (start_button.x, start_button.y))
running = True
while running:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
running = False
if event.type == MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
if not game_started:
if button_rect.collidepoint(event.pos):
game_started = True
else:
bullet = Bullet(screen, spaceship.x, spaceship.y - 20)
bullets.add(bullet)
