How do I set up an environment for my bugs and keep motivation?

I'm trying to set up a game a bit like the old virtual villagers games for my nan before she passes as she always complains about how the new ones *****

Although this is my first day working on the game I already feel like I've reached a barrier in my messy code...

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me fix it and tidy my code a bit. I basically want the bugs which will eventually become villagers go to the food source and water source when they are hungry or thirsty, however I don't want them to bounce between them. (They go to the water to get 5 water, then they go to the food to get 5 food then the water ect)

Basically I want them to be able to survive efficiantly without just sitting on the water and food. Here is what I've got so far but it just isnt working.

I was wondering if anyone could tidy the code up for me or maybe tell me how to fix the issue I'm having with the water and food.

I took a look at your code and noticed you are using functions and for each statements. I couldn't help but think this could be easier with a state machine.

For a state machine, you need to give your objects a state and update the state according to their needs. For example, a bug would start at an idle state. Then, when they need to eat, they enter a searching for food state. When they find food, they enter an eating state, etc...

I threw together a quick example that shows the principle in action. Hopefully it gets you closer to completing your project.

I have a wondering, eating and drinking state no? Maybe I accidentally shared an older file.

OMG Thank you that code is so useful!
