To preface, I am completely new to programming and am attempting to teach myself. Currently, I have a limited understanding of CS jargon so any explanation in layman terminology would be most appreciated.
I am using programarcadegames.com to learn basic computer science. I've created a a game that collects sprites using the pygame library and would like to break my code up into multiple files. My file, 'Sprite Moving.py' imports block_library.py to obtain the Block class. However, running the program, I receive the error ImportError: No Module named Block. I've read through Stackoverflow and some of the issues people have ran into include library imported is the same name or files not located in path. I believe I've checked these off. Any advice?
Did some google, and I believe this is what you are asking for - pastebin.com/J9qkjQ7F. I originally had all of my files in a separate folder, but one of the issues I saw while researching was the file may not be included in the path? So I dumped all of my relevant files into idlelib.
Thanks in advance!
