So I'm making a 2 player tron game in turtle, and my code seemed to be working fine (except the border that's why I commented it out). The only thing is that when I tried to play the game by myself to test it out, whenever I moved the "other" tron bike, the one that I just had clicked to make move stops moving. How can I fix this?

Here is my code:

def tron():
    #Drawing the starting turtles
    blueplayer = turtle.Turtle()
    redplayer = turtle.Turtle()
    screen = turtle.Screen()
    screen.setup(width, height)
    screen.bgpic('TronBg.png')
    screen.bgcolor('black')
    screen.addshape('BlueBike.gif')
    screen.addshape('RedBike.gif')
    blueplayer.shape('BlueBike.gif')
    redplayer.shape('RedBike.gif')
    redplayer.pencolor("red")
    redplayer.pensize(3)
    blueplayer.pencolor("blue")
    blueplayer.pensize(3)
    redplayer.pu()
    blueplayer.pu()
    redplayer.goto(width/2, height/8)
    blueplayer.goto(-1*(width)/2, height/8)
    redplayer.pd()
    blueplayer.pd()

    #Border
    #box = Turtle()
    #box.ht()
    #box.color('purple')
    #box.speed('fastest')
    #box.pensize(10)

   # box.pu()
   # box.goto(-1*height, -1*width)
   # box.pd()

   # for i in range(4):
   #   box.forward(height)
   #   box.left(90)
   #   box.forward(width)
   #   box.left(90)
      
    #Player movements
    def RedUp():
      while True:
        blueplayer.setheading(90)
        blueplayer.forward(3)
    def BlueUp():
      while True:
        redplayer.setheading(90)
        redplayer.forward(3)

    def RedDown():
      while True:
        blueplayer.setheading(270)
        blueplayer.forward(3)
    def BlueDown():
      while True:
        redplayer.setheading(270)
        redplayer.forward(3)

    def RedLeft():
      while True:
        blueplayer.setheading(180)
        blueplayer.forward(3)
    def BlueLeft():
      while True:
        redplayer.setheading(180)
        redplayer.forward(3)

    def RedRight():
      while True:
        blueplayer.setheading(0)
        blueplayer.forward(3)
    def BlueRight():
      while True:
        redplayer.setheading(0)
        redplayer.forward(3)

    for x in range(10):
      turtle.color('white')
      style = ('Arial', 25, 'italic')
      turtle.write(10-x, font=style, align='center') 
      time.sleep(1)
      turtle.undo()
  
    screen.listen()

    screen.onkey(RedUp, "w")
    screen.onkey(RedDown, "s")
    screen.onkey(RedLeft, "a")
    screen.onkey(RedRight, "d")

    screen.onkey(BlueUp, "Up")
    screen.onkey(BlueDown, "Down")
    screen.onkey(BlueLeft, "Left")
    screen.onkey(BlueRight, "Right")
    
    screen.mainloop()

CodePudding user response：

Using while True can be the problem - it runs endless loop which may block previous function and this may stop previous player.

Keys should set global variables with player direction - and timer should repeate code which checks directions for both players and update they positions.

Minimal working code - without images - so everyone can simply copy and run.
