I'm making a top-down game in pygame, it's very basic right now and my coding experience/skill is limited, so I'm aware my code won't be flawless. Right now I have a character, and spawned zombies chase after him, but after a while they all merge into a single sprite image, and I can't figure out how to stop it.
From a guess I'm thinking I should use a for loop to check whether the zombie is colliding with other zombies, but I don't know how to do it, or whether it should be done from within the zombie class.
The code of the area where the zombie is moving is below, I'm not sure if the code for movement needs an overhaul for it to work, cause it's fairly primitive movement code.
thanks for any help guys,
Alex
