  • min_y – The minimum y-coordinate a pellet must fly at to knock the conker out of the tree.

  • max_y – The maximum y-coordinate a pellet must fly at to knock the conker out of the tree.

  • hit_xy – The coordinates of the conker within its sprite (used for collision detection).

hit_by(pellet)

Return whether the conker was hit by a catapult pellet.
