My hero keeps on attacking a enemy on the side:

My code:

```python
// Check if the mines are safe for the workers.
function checkEnemyOrSafe(target) {
    // If `target` (the parameter) exists:
    if (target) {
        hero.attack(target);
    } else {
        hero.say("All Clear!");
    } // Then attack target.
         // Otherwise:
         // Use say() to call the peasants.
}
while (true) {
    // Move to, and check the top right X mark.
    hero.moveXY(64, 54);
    var enemy1 = hero.findNearestEnemy();
    checkEnemyOrSafe(enemy1);
    // Move to the bottom left X mark.
    hero.moveXY(16, 14);
    // Save the result of findNearestEnemy() in a variable.
    var enemy2 = hero.findNearestEnemy();
    // Call checkEnemyOrSafe, and pass the
    // result of findNearestEnemy as the argument.
    checkEnemyOrSafe(enemy2);
}

```

Try using glasses that don’t let you see through walls. If your hero can’t see the enemies on the other side of the trees, he won’t try to attack them.
