ive been running my code and getting an attribute error. the error was 'pygame.key.ScancodeWrapper' object has no attribute 'x'

Question

the code is meant to run a two-player spaceship game

import pygame 
import os


# important window variables

WIDTH, HEIGHT = 900, 500


SCREEN = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT))

pygame.display.set_caption('GAME')


# COLOURS

WHITE = (255, 255, 255)

BLACK = (0, 0, 0)




# other important variables:

BORDER = pygame.Rect(WIDTH/2 - 19, 0, 10, (HEIGHT))

FPS = 120

VEL = 5


SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT = 55, 40





# all image uploads

SPACE = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('Assets', 'space.png'))

RED_SPACESHIP = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('Assets', 'spaceship_red.png'))

YELLOW_SPACESHIP = pygame.image.load(os.path.join('Assets', 'spaceship_yellow.png'))




# fitted images

RED_SPACESHIP1 = pygame.transform.scale(RED_SPACESHIP, (SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT))

YELLOW_SPACESHP2 = pygame.transform.scale(YELLOW_SPACESHIP, (SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT))

SPACE1 = pygame.transform.scale(SPACE, (WIDTH, HEIGHT))




# FINAL IMAGES

RED_SPACESHIP_FINAL = pygame.transform.rotate(RED_SPACESHIP1, 90)
YELLOW_SPACESHIP_FINAL = pygame.transform.rotate(YELLOW_SPACESHP2, -90)





# display function (what shows up on the screen)

def display(RED, YELLOW):

    SCREEN.fill(WHITE)

    SCREEN.blit(SPACE, (0, 0))

    pygame.draw.rect(SCREEN, BLACK, BORDER)

    SCREEN.blit(RED_SPACESHIP_FINAL, (RED.x, RED.y))

    SCREEN.blit(YELLOW_SPACESHIP_FINAL, (YELLOW.x, YELLOW.y))
    
    pygame.display.update()





# YELLOW SPACESHIP MOVEMENT FUNCTION
def yellow_movement(keys_pressed, YELLOW):
    
     keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()

     if keys_pressed[pygame.K_UP]: # UP (RIGHT SIDE)
            YELLOW.y -= VEL

     if keys_pressed[pygame.K_DOWN]: # DOWN (RIGHT SIDE)
            YELLOW.y += VEL

     if keys_pressed[pygame.K_RIGHT]:  # RIGHT (RIGHT SIDE)
            YELLOW.x += VEL

     if keys_pressed[pygame.K_LEFT]:   # LEFT (RIGHT SIDE)
            YELLOW.x -= VEL





# RED SPACESHIP MOVEMENT FUNCTION
def red_movement(keys_pressed, RED):

        keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()

        if  keys_pressed[pygame.K_w]: # UP (left side)
            RED.y -= VEL

        if keys_pressed[pygame.K_s]: # DOWN (left side)
            RED.y += VEL

        if keys_pressed[pygame.K_d]: # RIGHT (left side)
            RED.x += VEL

        if keys_pressed[pygame.K_a]: # LEFT (left side)
            RED.x -= VEL
        




# main function/loop function
def main():

    RED = pygame.Rect(100, 230, SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT)

    YELLOW = pygame.Rect(700, 230, SPACESHIP_WIDTH, SPACESHIP_HEIGHT)

    clock = pygame.time.Clock()

    run = True

    while run:

        clock.tick(FPS)

        for event in pygame.event.get():

            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                
                run = False
        
        keys_pressed = pygame.key.get_pressed()
       
        yellow_movement(YELLOW, keys_pressed)

        red_movement(RED, keys_pressed)
             
        display(RED, YELLOW)

    pygame.quit()



if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Answer 1

The functions red_movement and yellow_movement are defined such that they take keys_pressed as the first argument and the spaceship as the second argument. But you pass first the spaceship and then keys_pressed as an argument into those functions. You should therefore swap the arguments in the function definition or when they are passed into the function.
