Dear Tutors,
I have a student who is creating a game in TKinter. He wants the ball
(object) to disappear when it hits when it hits the wall. He continues to
get a syntax error message when trying to print the coordinates (he was
printing the coordinates because he wanted to use its output to use again
as inputs). He also wants to define the x-coordinates.
He's running OSX 10.5, Python 3.5.1.
I am pasting his code and the syntax error. Any assistance would be
appreciated:
from tkinter import *
>>> import random
>>> import time
>>> tk = Tk()
>>> tk.title("Game")
''
>>> tk.resizable(0, 0)
''
>>> tk.wm_attributes("-topmost", 1)
''
>>> canvas = Canvas(tk, width=1400, height=835, bd=0, highlightthickness=0)
>>> canvas.pack()
>>> tk.update()
>>> class dot:
def __init__(self, canvas, color):
self.canvas = canvas
canvas.create_oval(10, 10, 25, 25, fill='Blue', tags='dot1')
>>> this = dot(canvas, 'blue')
>>> print canvas.coords('dot1')
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print canvas.coords('dot1', x, y)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print Canvas.coords('dot1', x, y)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print canvas.coords('dot1', x, y)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> def ball(n, x, y):
canvas.move(n, x, y)
>>> print coords('dot1', x, y)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print canvas.coords('dot1', x, y)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> Canvas(master=None)
<tkinter.Canvas object .4389705880>
>>> print canvas.coords('dot1', x, y)
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> print canvas.coords('dot1')
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
