Here's basically how I have it set up

I have a class called World, which has a function called somethingPicked

somethingPicked defines a variable, Position, and then sends a message to the Coin class to execute a function flipCoin

in flipCoin I need to compare the variable Position to the variable r1, which is defined in the coin class.

How do I write it so that I can use the variable position from the World class in a comparison with the variable r1 from the coin class?

DISCLAIMER: I do not know Python

Unless World.Position is publicly accessible, you can't. In most object-oriented languages, you need to declare it as being publicly accessible. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming for pointers.

I declared it as self.Position and it still didn't work

In Python everything is publicly accessible.

Are you passing your World instance to your flipCoin call? If you don't need anything else from World, why not just pass Position?

I'm not that familiar with Python. Could you please explain that? :S

I tried calling the variable World.somethingPicked.Position and that didn't work either

[Spicious]

Make your flipCoin take a position:

Code: [Select]

def flipCoin(self, position):
  ...

and in somethingPickled

Code: [Select]

coin.flipCoin(position)
or if position is a field in World

Code: [Select]

coin.flipCoin(self.position)

TypeError: unbound method coinFlip() must be called with Coin instance as first argument (got int instance instead)

Is coin a Coin?
