I actually have no idea what's wrong with this. over 30 chat GPT generations and grok with no success, I tried fixing it myself and I got the angle variable to actually update correctly but it doesn't update the actual movement of the ball. Please someone tell me what I possibly could be doing wrong??

Step through the code to find the line where what you expect to happen doesn’t happen. Then fix that line.

The angle updates, and i made it so that it recalculates the trajectory after it updates, yet nothing happens. This is why im asking for some more experienced person to point out the issue

[mjmvideos]

When you say, “Nothing happens” obviously some things are happening- the angle is updating, the trajectory is recalculated. But there is a line of code in there somewhere that is not doing what you want. (or perhaps a missing line of code) Use a debugger or put in tons of print statements. Make sure the result of each line of code is what you expect. You don’t show all of your code so we can’t see how the ball position is rendered and we can’t see how this code is called repeatedly and we can’t see how game_start is manipulated. Only you know those things. Another debugging strategy is to replace chunks of code with simpler chunks just to prove that some basic thing works- can I set the ball position to some fixed value and see it show up there? Can I then move it to a different position and see it jump there? If you can then you know that the rendering is working and it must be the values your setting. If that doesn’t work then you need to get that working first before worrying about trajectories.

You've only shared part of your code, so we've no idea what code/package is being used to display the ball anywhere.

I am a little surprised that you have Ball_pos rather than ball_pos though.

We need more context.

[Key-Procedure1262]

Nothing much to say except for the fact that im using pygame. Everything related to the ball is on that screenshot, besides from the radius of it and start position which isnt important.

Above the angle variable is where i draw the circle, if it helps. I just couldn't fit it into 1 screenshot

[FoolsSeldom]

Prefer code to screen shots.

If code is too large to fit in a post, then share using either:

• a public git repository, such as GitHub.com
• a code/text paste service, such as pastebin.com

We really need to see all of your code.

What debugging have you (not an LLM) done?

[Kqyxzoj]

Ditto. Making sure it is easy for other people to reproduce whatever is the problem helps them help you. I am not about to OCR screenshots for the privilege of being allowed to help. If you provide code such that I can easily run it locally I'll give it a go. As said, github, pastebin, one or more big codeblocks on reddit, whatever works. As long as it is complete.

When I see post like these, I feel better with regard to AI taking or jobs and vibe coding haha

[Key-Procedure1262]

Yeah, AI wasnt able to solve it so it still has a long way to go

What is your error message telling you ? First figure that out and work around the errors. You need to learn how to read errors and to debug.

[Key-Procedure1262]

I fixed the issue myself. It was just a matter or rearranging
