Problem In Speed Of Animation In Python(pygame)

I am making a ninja game in which a ninja has to dodge obstacle by jumping(pressing spacebar), but the jump animation is too fast and the ninja is not able to jump beyond the obsta

Solution 1:

possible solution, add a varibles:

speedJump = 2 # play with this value, try to decrease and increase
ninjaDirect = None

and in the main loop:

while True:  # main loop
  if ninjaDirect == "down":
    if player + 100 >= y:
      # we in middle of jump
      player.y += speedJump
    else: # we finish the jump
      ninjaDirect = None
      player.y = y
  ...
  for event in pygame.event.get():
  ...
    if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN: #keydown
      if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
        if player.y > 100:
          ninjaDirect = "up"
          player.y -= speedJump
      else: ninjaDirect = "down"
    if event.type == pygame.KEYUP: #keyup
      if event.key == pygame.K_SPACE:
        ninjaDirect = "down"
  ...
