Title: noobish coding help
when coding anything with a period (.) for example turtle.attack it will give me an error saying that =was expected, but when I use the = instead of a period, it doesn't work, yet doesn't give me an error, as someone new to coding, is there something that I'm doing wrong?


fixed, I was doing turtle.attack I now know I need to use turtle.attack()

Split into new topic.

Please post the code you're having trouble with.

I bet my life that you forgot the parenthesis in your function calls. It's "turtle.attack()", not "turtle.attack".
