A Python 'for' loop doesn't behave like that; you can't just edit the
loop counter. But take a step back: what are you actually trying to
accomplish? As I see it, you're trying to pick ten unique random
values in the range 1-12 inclusive. Try this:
random.sample(range(1,13),10) # note that range() stops *before* its second arg
That'll give you a list of those integers, and it's a lot safer and
more reliable than the try-fail-retry method. Your loop can become:
for decimal_value in random.sample(range(1,13),10):
egg = 'A%d.png' % (decimal_value)
egg = wait(egg)
click(egg.getCenter().offset(random.randint(-10,10),
random.randint(-10,10)))
By the way, this line simply won't work:
x-1 = x
I think you mean:
x = x-1
But I strongly suggest you copy and paste directly rather than retype;
it's less error-prone.
Hope that helps!
