name error
 

below is my code and whenever i run it it says: "NameError: name 'Ship' is not defined"


class Ship(games.Sprite):
"""The player's ship."""
image = games.load_image("ship.bmp")
ROTATION_STEP = 3

def update(self):
"""Rotates based on keys pressed."""
if games.keyboard.is_pressed(games.K_LEFT):
self.angle -= Ship.ROTATION_STEP
if games.keyboard.is_pressed(games.K_RIGHT):
self.angle += Ship.ROTATION_STEP

the_ship = Ship(image = Ship.image,
x = games.screen.width/2,
y = games.screen.height/2)

games.screen.add(the_ship)

Re: name error
 

Wrap your code in [code][/code] tags.

What line are you getting the error on? You might need to show more source too, as I don't think the error belongs to this class. Everything looks fine, assuming it's indented how I think.

I will repeat Sane and ask that you wrap your code in the appropriate tags to allow for indentation and highlighting. Doing so will help us to help you.

Clearly the OP didn't read the reply to his original post or he would have known to use code tags in his second post. Why should we waste our time trying to answer a question knowing our responses will be ignored?

[ CODE ] your code [ / CODE ] without the spaces in the tags.

"NameError: name 'Ship' is not defined"

Re: name error
 

Er, you've still got the code tags wrong. Don't encase every line, just the whole block.

I've taken the liberty of doing this for you:


And now it's formatted like this, the answer is obvious: you have the indentation wrong. You're trying to instantiate a class before it has been fully defined. You want something more like this:


Additionally, I'm not sure how the Sprite class works, but I suspect you could do:
