Running a if statement only once in pygame

Question

I have a running game where you can move and collect coins. For each coin I have a if statement:

if cn1+25 < x and cn1 + 50 > x:
        cn1 = -1000
           


        

Answer 1

It is also possible to use a tuple to run an if statement only once. by creating the tuple switch = [0] out side of the while loop then this peace of code can suffice.

if Your conditions:
    if switch[0] == 0:
        switch[0] += 1

all that you need from here is something that runs (or doesn't) because switch[0] = 1. By having it only add up to 1 you could add a similar peace of code to undo.
