Question

The game is simple where the Pan object catches the Pizza objects that are dispensed by the Chef object. When the Pan object (the user) misses a Pizza object, and it hits the floor of the screen, “Game Over” is printed (def game_over(self)) and the game terminates. But after the game terminates, my IDE gives me these error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\COMPAQ\My Documents\Aptana Studio Workspace\Pythonic Things\PizzaPanicAttempt\PizzaPanicAttempt3.py", line 125, in <module>

The actual code for the program is as follows:

Answer 1

One of your self.overlapping_sprites is a Pan, not a Pizza.

Also, you have two main()s.
