I am making a game in pygame and I ran into a little issue.

this code:

    if balloon_rect.collidepoint(mouse_pos) and event.type == pg.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
        balloon_rect.x = 200
        balloon_rect.y = 480

doesn't work. It should detect where the mouse is and if the position is the same as the position of the balloon and a mouse button is clicked, the balloon should go back to the coordinates x200 and y480. In some way this doesn't happen, I hope you can help me.

Best wishes, Onno

When and where are you getting `mouse_pos` (e.g. `mouse_pos = pygame.mouse.get_pos()`) and `event` (e.g. `event = pygame.event.get()`)? – Fiddling Bits Aug 11 '22 at 18:54
Did you print balloon_rect.collidepoint(mouse_pos) to make sure this was happening ? – Vincent Aug 11 '22 at 18:56
You should probably call `pygame.mouse.get_pos()` within the block of `event.type == pg.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN`. – Fiddling Bits Aug 11 '22 at 18:57
