Diamond dozen (python)

my code:


def findMostHealth(enemies):
    target = None
    targetHealth = 0
    enemyIndex = 0
    while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        if enemy.health > targetHealth:
            target = enemy
            targetHealth = enemy.health
        enemyIndex += 1
    return target

def valueOverDistance(item):
    return item.value / hero.distanceTo(item)

# Return the item with the highest valueOverDistance(item)
def findBestItem(items):
    bestItem = None
    bestValue = 0
    itemsIndex = 0
    
    # Loop over the items array.
    # Find the item with the highest valueOverDistance()
    findMostValueOverDistance
    return bestItem

while True:
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    enemy = findMostHealth(enemies)
    if enemy and enemy.health > 15:
        while enemy.health > 0:
            hero.attack(enemy)
    else:
        coins = hero.findItems()
        coin = None
        coin = findBestItem(coins)
        if coin:
            hero.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y)

I strongly suggest that you use the search feature and read previous threads about this level. I was stuck on it for a couple of days myself. Your code needs some work and it’s best for you to do some research to learn what needs to be done.

Those are good, though we’re replaced ‘self’ with ‘hero’.

i tried those could you check my code and see what I would put for the missing segment

# Claim the coins while defeating the marauding ogres.

def findMostHealth(enemies):
    target = None
    targetHealth = 0
    enemyIndex = 0
    while enemyIndex < len(enemies):
        enemy = enemies[enemyIndex]
        if enemy.health > targetHealth:
            target = enemy
            targetHealth = enemy.health
        enemyIndex += 1
    return target

def valueOverDistance(item):
    return item.value / hero.distanceTo(item)

# Return the item with the highest valueOverDistance(item)
def findBestItem(items):
    bestItem = None
    bestValue = 0
    itemsIndex = 0
    # Loop over the items array.
    # Find the item with the highest valueOverDistance()
    
    return bestItem

while True:
    enemies = hero.findEnemies()
    enemy = findMostHealth(enemies)
    if enemy and enemy.health > 15:
        while enemy.health > 0:
            hero.attack(enemy)
    else:
        coins = hero.findItems()
        coin = None
        coin = findBestItem(coins)
        if coin:
            hero.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y)

i = 0
greatestValue = 0
for item in item:
    value = valueOverDistance(item)
    # each time you go through the loop, compare the current item's value to the max value.
    if value > greatestValue:
        value = greatestValue
        index = i
        # store the index of the item as well, so you can return the index and use it in the main loop to find and collect the item.
        # index is i in this case.
        i += 1
    else:
        i += 1
return index

thank you for the help
