PyGame rect.move movement not functioning properly

by

pygame.Rect.move doesn’t change the Rect object itself, but it returns an new Rect object (Probably the name of the method is misleading).

This means, that

self.rect.move(xy[0], xy[1])

doesn’t change anything. You’ve to assign the rectangle which is returned by .move to “itself”: 

self.rect = self.rect.move(xy)

Alternatively you can use pygame.Rect.move_ip(), moves the rectangle “in place” and changes the Rect object:

self.rect.move_ip(xy[0], xy[1])
