Trying to use a class but get a NoneType error with Kivy

I´m trying to build my first game using Python and Kivy. I have used Kivy:s Pong Game Tutorial as an base for my game https://kivy.org/doc/stable/tutorials/pong.html and I did get my ship (png-file) move on a background. Then I followed Sentex guide on buttons https://youtu.be/CYNWK2GpwgA and tried to move my game in to a menu system.

Now my game does not work. I get: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'center_x' when I try to move my ship.

I have tried to trace back the problem and understand what´s happening. At first I thought the error was because of the ship was an NoneType object but when I use .self. I use the class SpaceGame_TheGame? How can that be a NoneType when I use it in the class it self?

(I´m new to programming and new to the forum, I'm trying my best but I guess both code and post looks like crap to you ppl...)

Thankful for any help!

Problem - AttributeError

     self.player.center_x = touch.x
 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'center_x'

Root Cause

player is defined as an ObjectProperty and initialized to None inside the class SpaceGame_TheGame(Widget). This property is NOT updated to hold the instance of the SpaceShip referenced by the id: space_ship.

Therefore, when your app tried to retrieve center_x via player, it threw an error i.e. NoneType object.

Note

In your Kivy app, there are two unique ObjectProperty with the name, player. One is declared in class SpaceGame_TheGame(Widget). The other one is automatically created by Kivy and added to the Screen widget, SpaceGame because the widget doesn’t have a property with that given name, player.

Solution

kv file

  • Move player: space_ship from class rule, <SpaceGame>: to under instantiated object, SpaceGame_TheGame:

Snippets - kv file

<SpaceGame>:
    name: "spacegame"

    canvas:
        Rectangle:
            pos: self.pos
            size: self.size
            source: 'bakgrund.jpg'
    ...

        SpaceGame_TheGame:
            id: spacegame_thegame # an id for referring to this widget
            player: space_ship

py file

  • In on_touch_move() method, replace self.player.center_x = touch.x and self.player.center_y = touch.y with self.player.pos = touch.pos

Snippets - py file

class SpaceGame_TheGame(Widget):
    player = ObjectProperty(None)

    def on_touch_move(self, touch):
        self.player.pos = touch.pos

Output

Result - moved spaceship
