The hero will say “So many enemies!”, since the enemies array exists, even if there are no enemies

The easiest way I can think of (python)…

Spoiler alert

Instead of: if enemies:,

Yes, this is the way this check must be done. ( if enemies.length > 0: will also work in CoCo python )
I have made a search in topics and there are many examples where this error is present. But the catch is the CoCo python isn’t acting as a real python.
If there are no enemies the answer must be ‘No enemies!’ after if enemies: in real python.
