Trying to use colliderect in pygame?

Question

I'm trying to check for collisions, but whenever I try and run my code I receive an
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'colliderect').

Happens in this section of the code, the line underneath the second for loop.

# Collision

for i1 in range(len(enemies)):
    for i2 in range(1, len(enemies)):  # compares list against first index of last loop
        collision = enemies[i1].rect.x.colliderect(enemies[i2].rect.x)
        if i2 != i1:
            if collision:
                if enemies[i2].rect.x > enemies[i1].rect.x:
                    enemies[i2].rect.x += 6
                if enemies[i2].rect.x < enemies[i1].rect.x:
                    enemies[i2].rect.x -= 6

Just so you know: you can add pygame as a tag which will get you help quicker. — marienbad, May 15 '21 at 07:38
Because `enemies[i1].rect.x` is an integer value, not a `rect`. — martineau, May 15 '21 at 07:40

You don't test the rect.x, you test the rect!

enemies[i1].rect.x.colliderect(enemies[i2].rect.x)

should be

enemies[i1].rect.colliderect(enemies[i2].rect)

You could also write:

for enemy1 in enemies:
    for enemy2 in enemies
        if enemy1 != enemy2:
            if enemy1.rect.colliderect(enemy2.rect)
