So I'm trying to get it to update the score by 30 each time a fly is hit. I've tried this a number of ways, but none of them seem to be working. Here is my code (I've commented out some unneeded things so I didn't have to upload so many files):

Additionally, I am having an issue with the flies spawning on top of each other. What is an easy way to remedy that?

import math, random
from livewires import games, color

games.init(screen_width = 640, screen_height = 480, fps = 50)

class Fly(games.Animation):
    images = ["fly1.bmp",
              "fly2.bmp"]

    speed = 2

    def __init__(self, x, y= 20):
        super(Fly, self).__init__(
            images = Fly.images,
            x = x, y = y,
            repeat_interval = 4, n_repeats = 0,
            dy = 1)

    def update(self):

        if self.top < 0:
            self.dy = -self.dy

        if self.top > games.screen.height:
            self.top = 0
        
    def handle_hit(self):
        if self.overlapping_sprites:
            for fly in self.overlapping_sprites:
                self.destroy()
                new_explosion = Explosion(x = self.x, y = self.y)
                games.screen.add(new_explosion)
        for i in range(2):

Your code gives this

The livewires is a module I had to install to use with Pygame. Let me see if I can find it

Here it is.

At first I had the score functionality associated with the Fly object, but that obviously didn't work because it would just reset the score each time a fly was shot. But now I can't get it to even add when associated with the Ship class.

Also, here is the version of Pygame I am using.

The problem with the livewires wrapper is that it is rather old and updates are spotty. You would be much better off and learn more using PyGame directly.
