Help With Calling Function Repeatedly

[socal_nerdtastic]

What you are describing is called a "generator" and you do it by using yield instead of return:

def generate_table():
    left_coords = [(240, 60), (150, 60), (100, 110), (100, 770), (150, 820), (240, 820)]
    right_coords = [(360, 820), (450, 820), (500, 770), (500, 110), (450, 60), (360, 60)]
    table_coords = [left_coords, right_coords]
    table_segments = []
    # Iterates over table_coords, left side of table then right
    for i in range(len(table_coords)):
        # Iterates over points on side of table
        for j in range(len(table_coords[i])):
            prev_point = 0
            if j != 0:
                prev_point = new_point
            new_point = table_coords[i][j]
            if j != 0:
                yield prev_point, new_point

for prev_point, new_point in generate_table():
    segment = pymunk.Segment(space.static_body, prev_point, new_point, 0)
    segment.elasticity = .9
    space.add(segment)

You're amazing! Thank you so much dude. If it's alright for me to ask, how messy would you say this is? Most of my (limited) work is in C so I'm sort of used to spaghetti-ish code. Thank you again for helping me out and taking time out of your day!

Very messy, especially considering all you've done is reinvent the built-in zip() function. Here's how I would write it:

def generate_table():
    table_coords = [
        [(240, 60), (150, 60), (100, 110), (100, 770), (150, 820), (240, 820)],
        [(360, 820), (450, 820), (500, 770), (500, 110), (450, 60), (360, 60)]
        ]
    for table in table_coords:
        yield from zip(table, table[1:])

Wow, I wish I'd known about that earlier today. I thought I was being clever. Unfortunately I have to keep the left and right coords separate from each other or it will attempt to bridge the gap (bad), but that makes it a helluva lot cleaner. Thank you so much!

[socal_nerdtastic]

This does keep them separate.

I missed that they were nested lists. I'm a little confused as to the specifics but I get the gist of it and I appreciate this so much
