so im trying to do this level but even though all of my code is pretty much right it won’t work? heelpp.

# Protect the village with fire traps.
# Mine all passages in four directions.
# You have 80 seconds before the ogres attack.

# Build traps on the line y=114 from x=40 to x=112 with step=24.
def buildNorthLine():
    for x in range(40, 113, 24):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", x, 114)

# Build traps on the line x=140 from y=110 to y=38 with step=18.
def buildEastLine():
    # Complete this function:
    for y in range(110, 39, 18):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 140, y)
    pass

# Build traps on the line y=22 from x=132 to x=32 with step=20.
def buildSouthLine():
    # Complete this function:
    for x in range(132, 33, 20):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", x, 22)
    pass

# Build traps on the line x=20 from y=28 to y=108 with step=16.
def buildWestLine():
    # Complete this function:
    for y in range(28, 209, 16):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 20, y)
    pass

buildNorthLine()
buildEastLine()
buildSouthLine()
buildWestLine()
hero.moveXY(40, 94)

made a couple fixes to my code but its still not going through with it all :confused:

# Build traps on the line y=114 from x=40 to x=112 with step=24.
def buildNorthLine():
    for x in range(40, 113, 24):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", x, 114)

# Build traps on the line x=140 from y=110 to y=38 with step=18.
def buildEastLine():
    # Complete this function:
    for y in range(110, 39, 18):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 140, y)
    pass

# Build traps on the line y=22 from x=132 to x=32 with step=20.
def buildSouthLine():
    # Complete this function:
    for x in range(132, 33, -20):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", x, 22)
    pass

# Build traps on the line x=20 from y=28 to y=108 with step=16.
def buildWestLine():
    # Complete this function:
    for y in range(28, 209, -16):
        hero.buildXY("fire-trap", 20, y)
    pass

buildNorthLine()
buildEastLine()
buildSouthLine()
buildWestLine()
hero.moveXY(40, 94)

You can use y in for loops though. :neutral_face:
It’s just a variable name.
