bullets are not appearing after pressing the spacebar

[MaciekMatyszczyk123]

I have everything the same in code and bullets are still not appearing

I've the same problem too, currently in Create Bullets For Shooting.

Here's my code: `import pygame as pg

import random as rd

Initialize the pygame

pg.init()

create the screen

screen = pg.display.set_mode((800, 600))

Background

background = pg.image.load('background.png')

Title and Icon

pg.display.set_caption("Space Invaders")
icon = pg.image.load('ufo.png')
pg.display.set_icon(icon)

Player

playerImg = pg.image.load('player.png')
playerX = 370
playerY = 480
playerX_change = 0

Enemy

enemyImg = pg.image.load('enemy.png')
enemyX = rd.randint(0, 800)
enemyY = rd.randint(50, 150)
enemyX_change = 4
enemyY_change = 40

Bullet

Ready = You can't see the bullet on the screen

Fire = The bullet is currently moving

bulletImg = pg.image.load('bullet.png')
bulletX = 0
bulletY = 480
bulletX_change = 0
bulletY_change = 10
bullet_state = "ready"

def player(x, y):
screen.blit(playerImg, (x, y))

def enemy(x, y):
screen.blit(enemyImg, (x, y))

def fire_bullet(x, y):
global bullet_state
bullet_state = "fire"
screen.blit(bulletImg, (x + 16, y + 10))

Game Loop

running = True
while running:

# RGB = Red, Green, Blue
screen.fill((0, 0, 0))
# Background image
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
for event in pg.event.get():
    if event.type == pg.QUIT:
        running = False

# If keystroke is pressed check whether right or left
if event.type == pg.KEYDOWN:
    if event.key == pg.K_LEFT:
        playerX_change = -5
    if event.key == pg.K_RIGHT:
        playerX_change = 5
    if event.key == pg.K_SPACE:
        fire_bullet(playerX,bulletY)

if event.type == pg.KEYUP:
    if event.key == pg.K_LEFT or event.key == pg.K_RIGHT:
        playerX_change = 0

# x = 5 + 0.1 -> 5 - 5 -0.1
# 5 - 5 + 0.1

# Checking for boundaries of spaceship, so it doesn't go out of bounds
playerX += playerX_change

if playerX <= 0:
    playerX = 0
elif playerX >= 736:
    playerX = 736

# Enemy movement
enemyX += enemyX_change

if enemyX <= 0:
    enemyX_change = 4
    enemyY += enemyY_change
elif enemyX >= 730:
    enemyX_change = -4
    enemyY += enemyY_change

# Bullet Movement
if bullet_state is "fire":
    fire_bullet(playerX, bulletY)
    bulletY -= bulletY_change

player(playerX, playerY)
enemy(enemyX, enemyY)

pg.display.update()

`

I have everything the same in code and bullets are still not appearing

I've already tried screen.blitting it, but nothing showed up

Did you figure it out? I have the same problem for the past 4 days
