In my code, its supposed to be a magic 8 ball that is rigged. Pressing A should show "Yes!", pressing B should show "No." But every time, it shows "Yes!" without any buttons being pressed.

apress = False
bpress = False
while True:
if button_a.is_pressed:
bpress = False
apress = True
elif button_b.is_pressed:
apress = False
bpress = True
display.show("8")
if accelerometer.was_gesture("shake") and apress is True:
display.clear()
display.show(frames, loop=False, delay=250)
sleep(1000)
display.show("Yes!")
apress = False
elif accelerometer.was_gesture("shake") and bpress is True:
display.clear()
display.show(frames, loop=False, delay=250)
sleep(1000)
display.show("No.")
bpress = False
elif accelerometer.was_gesture("shake"):
display.clear()
display.show(frames, loop=False, delay=250)
sleep(1000)
display.scroll(random.choice(answers))
It shows no error message, it just shows "Yes!" every single time I shake. And by the way, "Yes!" is not in the answers array, only "Yes", and I always see the !.
Without any more context, one can only assume what the problem is.
Make sure that is_pressed is not a function:
if button_a.is_pressed:
bpress = False
apress = True
elif button_b.is_pressed:
apress = False
bpress = True
if is_pressed is a function then button_a.is_pressed will always be True hence apress will always be True hence you will always get 'Yes!' printed.
Try to change the above code to
if button_a.is_pressed():
bpress = False
apress = True
elif button_b.is_pressed():
apress = False
bpress = True
Otherwise, debug you program. Add print statements in different execution paths and see what causes each if statement to be True.
