Hi everyone.
I am new to programming and to this forum as well. I’ve started to learn Python just recently, and as a challenge, I wanted to create a very basic “game”.
At the beginning it was pretty simple, I just coded a few lines so that when I run the program, I could move on a 100-cases grid (to the left when I type “l”, upwards when I type “u”…). And after it worked, I started adding more and more functions, allowing me to gather some fruits when on a specific case, store those fruits in a basket on another case, cook some fruit desserts, etc.
It was working just fine, but as soon as I added a new function allowing me to “teleport” from one case to another (btw, the function works, I tested it seperately), the program no longer worked. When I try to run it with IDLE, it says the syntax of the “gather” function is invalid. The strange thing is, this same function worked perfectly before.
But I don’t know, I’m probably missing something since it doesn’t work. I would be glad if someone could help me to find the error
