My computer science teacher has to get a surgery so she has to take off three weeks.

With any other teacher I’d get over it quickly but she’s the best part of my day (not that there’s any real competition for that role) so I’m a bit sad about it.

Does anyone here know Python because my code isn’t running correctly and I’m not really in the mood for games.

The issue is with text updating properly in case that helps.

I know very limited on it but perhaps i could help

You could look at it, at least. I’d have to show you the entire code, though, and it’s a real mess honestly.

Go ahead. Chances are I will be completely useless but I might be good for something

Like I said, the entire thing is huge mess, but maybe you can do something with it.

The first section of code imports the necessary modules, because it’s python. Then the variables, then the functions. The draw function shows what appears in the canvas.

…You know, I went to all this work, I figured out why the timer wasn’t working. I never timer.start()-ed. Still don’t get the score thing, though.

The score label worked until I added a timer handler that used the same variable and now neither the timer or score labels work. The high score label doesn’t work either.

I moved some stuff around because I thought it would work better and now I don’t know where it was originally so I can’t fix it based on that either.

I got stuck on a level of Python because the stupid “did you actually accomplish the purpose of this lesson” checker decided to be pissy about whether I capitalized the first letter of a string. Literally one of the first things the dumb thing teaches is how to set a string to lowercase. They could’ve made it so it didn’t matter since it has literally no bearing on the output of the code, but no. Simple string.lowercase() is too complicated for people who make learn-to-code software. It certainly wasn’t too complicated when they taught us it.
