Mouse click isn't being recognized

Question

I am trying to make a black cell become a white cell when clicked, and vise versa. The problem that I can't seem to solve is that no matter what function I use, my program doesn't recognize when I click my mouse. I've tried just about every search result on both google and answer on stack overflow, but nothing happens. This is what I am currently using.

 def update(self, event_list): for event in event_list: if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN: if self.rect.collidepoint(event.pos): self.alive = not self.alive if self.alive: self.image = self.alive_image else: self.dead_image #main loop while gen: event_list = pygame.event.get() for event in event_list: if event.type == pygame.QUIT: run = false all_cells.update(event_list) clock.tick(60) pygame.quit()

I also tried all the usual functions like pygame.mouse.get_press() and self.rect.collidepoint(). What should I try?

So when using pygame.mouse.get_pressed() in an if statement, use if True in pygame.mouse.get_pressed():. Otherwise, pygame.mouse.get_pressed() always seems True if you have only it in an if statement. — Wrongsphere

You'll need to replace your

 if self.alive: self.image = self.alive_image else: self.dead_image

With

 if self.alive: self.image = self.alive_image else: self.image = self.dead_image

As at self.dead_image the code isn't doing anything.
