Error on assigning a value to a Rectangle in Pygame

Question

I was trying to make a function that drew a rectangular map onto the screen. This function is:

def parseMap(mapIndex):
    tileRect = pygame.Rect(0, 0, 32, 32)
    for x in maps.mapData[mapIndex]:
    tileRect.x = x*16
    for y in x:
        tileRect.y = y*16
        c.blit(maps.grass, tileRect)
        if maps.mapData[mapIndex][x][y] == 1: c.blit(maps.tallGrass, tileRect)

Though, I was getting an error,

TypeError: invalid rect assignment

on the line:

tileRect.x = x*16

and I can't see anything wrong with the code. Thanks!

Answer 1

If x is a list, then x * 16 does list repetition, not multiplication.

i.e., you're getting something like

tileRect.x = [1, 1, 1, 1, ...]
