i cant seem to break out of this loop. let me explain the variables you see:
Enemy.ships = [] #an Enemy class variable that contains enemy ships self.missiles = [] an instance variable that appends how many Visible missiles my ship has fired Enemy.rects = [] an Enemy class variable that represents a rectangle for every ship in Enemy.ships Explosion() = a class where explosions occur QPoint() = is a pyqt function that takes a point x, y position as arguments im trying to destroy the ships if they hit a missile, even though i use pyqt this is mainly python code if Enemy.ships: for missile in self.missiles: for rect in Enemy.rects: if QPoint(missile.x + 5, missile.y) in rect: explosion = Explosion(rect.x(), rect.y()) self.explosions.append(explosion) break once the missile has hit 1 Enemy.rect i want to break and go to the next missile so the missile is destroyed and doesnt hit another Enemy, but for some reason the break i have isnt working and the same missile sometimes is hitting 2 different rects on the same iteration. i have done the same loop using a simple print statements on strings greater than a certain length and it breaks correctly. anyone have any ideas why the break isnt breaking out of the nested/inner loop but instead continuing to loop through the Enemies? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
