why am i getting got an unexpected keyword argument 'calculate_hit_box'

Question

Im trying to make a card game and for some reason i keep on getting got an unexpected keyword argument 'calculate_hit_box' error everytime i run my code

import arcade

SCREEN_WIDTH = 1024
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 768
SCREEN_TITLE = "Bahraini Deal"

# Constants for sizing
CARD_SCALE = 0.6

# How big are the cards?
CARD_WIDTH = 140 * CARD_SCALE
CARD_HEIGHT = 190 * CARD_SCALE

# How big is the mat we'll place the card on?
MAT_PERCENT_OVERSIZE = 1.25
MAT_HEIGHT = int(CARD_HEIGHT * MAT_PERCENT_OVERSIZE)
MAT_WIDTH = int(CARD_WIDTH * MAT_PERCENT_OVERSIZE)

# How much space do we leave as a gap between the mats?
# Done as a percent of the mat size.
VERTICAL_MARGIN_PERCENT = 0.10
HORIZONTAL_MARGIN_PERCENT = 0.10

# The Y of the bottom row (2 piles)
BOTTOM_Y = MAT_HEIGHT / 2 + MAT_HEIGHT * VERTICAL_MARGIN_PERCENT

# The X of where to start putting things on the left side
START_X = MAT_WIDTH / 2 + MAT_WIDTH * HORIZONTAL_MARGIN_PERCENT

# Card constants

I've tried multiple ways to fix the problem but while fixing it i end up messing it up more and more every time, its clear that the issue is with the calculate_hit_box but what i dont get is why? every soultion i try ends up mesing it up more and more

Answer 1

Remove calculate_hit_box=False from here:

super().__init__(self.image_file_name, scale,calculate_hit_box=False)

Seems that there is an error in "Solitaire" tutorial. I've created an issue for arcade lib.

Answer 2

From looking at the arcade.Sprite source code, it doesn't look like calculate_hit_box is one of Sprite's __init__ parameters:

class Sprite:
    def __init__(self,
                 filename: str = None,
                 scale: float = 1,
                 image_x: float = 0, image_y: float = 0,
                 image_width: float = 0, image_height: float = 0,
                 center_x: float = 0, center_y: float = 0,
                 repeat_count_x: int = 1, repeat_count_y: int = 1,
                 flipped_horizontally: bool = False,
                 flipped_vertically: bool = False,
                 flipped_diagonally: bool = False,
                 mirrored: bool = None,
                 hit_box_algorithm: str = "Simple",
                 hit_box_detail: float = 4.5):
# ...

Maybe it used to be in an older version of Arcade, which would explain the confusion if you're following an old tutorial.
