Question

I’m trying to declare a few simple variables as part of a function in a very basic collision detection programme. For some reason it’s rejecting my variables (although only some of them even though they’re near identical). Here’s the code for the function;

def TimeCheck():     timechecknumber = int(time.time())     timecheckdiv = backcolourcheck % 5     if timecheckdiv < 1:         timecheck = true     else:         timecheck = false     if timecheck == true:         backgroundr = (int(random.random()*255)+1         backgroundg = (int(random.random()*255)+1         backgroundb = (int(random.random()*255)+1 

for some reason it accepts backgroundr but not backgroundg, anyone got any ideas why? thanks

Answer 1

You have mismatched parentheses on the line beginning with backgroundr. I think maybe you want this:

backgroundr = int(random.random() * 255) + 1 

Note that each of the next two lines also have mismatched parentheses, so you’ll have to fix those, too.
