Answer 1

Don't delete iterator variable or items in a list while looping over it as that's a bad practice, whatever, try another way. Maybe some objects can be deleted this way:

# Detect object
def detect_object(self, objects):
    del_indices = []

    for i in len(objects):
        obj = objects[i]

        if obj.pivot == self.location:
            if isinstance(obj, Fruit):
                self.grow(obj.get_growth())
                # del obj
                del_indices.append(i)

    # Remove some objects
    new_objects = []

    for i in len(objects):
        if not i in del_indices:
            new_objects.append(objects[i])

    objects = new_objects
    # return objects
