Cannot get correct recursion in function - python-3.x

Question

In my show() function I can't get the correct amount of recursions and boxes showing. It only goes 1 level deep then stops. Any idea on how to fix it? I'll post all my code to give you some background. When it runs it won't continue to show other boxes that don't have bombs around them or numbered boxes. Not sure what is going wrong as I believe the code is correct but I didn't know how to debug the recursion function. I thought since it could be because being called only once in another function it might limit the recursion. But that does not make sense. I want to get this working to see if it would be possible to run a CSP type algorithm against it. Thanks for the help.

Your show-method doesnt know the (updated) value of the variables x and y, so it sets them to the value they had during the first call to show (note that it is only because they get defined as global variables that these initial values of x and y are visible throughout your call-stack - had your main game-loop been in a separate method you would probably have been warned that they were not initialized). Modify your show method as follows
def show(pos):
if diction[pos].number == 0 and not diction[pos].show and not diction[pos].bomb:
diction[pos].show = True
x=pos[0]
y=pos[1]
neighbors = [
(x + 1, y), (x - 1, y), (x, y + 1), (x, y - 1), (x + 1, y + 1),
(x + 1, y - 1), (x - 1, y + 1), (x - 1, y - 1)
]
neighbor1= [neighbor for neighbor in neighbors if validate_cell(neighbor)]
for item in neighbor1:
show(item)
return
if diction[pos].number > 0:
diction[pos].show = True
return
and I would expect your program to work.
