The Keyword self#

In the code above, you saw that the act method takes self as a parameter.

All methods that belong to an object always receive self as their first parameter.

Inside the method, you can then use self to access the attributes and methods of the object itself.

Example:#

This code:

@player.register
def act(self):
    self.direction = "right"

is equivalent to:

@player.register
def act(self):
    player.direction = "right"

Here, self refers to the player object where the method was registered.
