I try to optimize the next movement.  
First move to gold, them silver, and bronze.  
But the program breaks at first gold.  
It said there is a error in hero.moveXY(gold.pos.x, gold.pos.y)

I think method this.findNearest(units) can not work with this.findItems()

Thanks a lot.

golds = []  
silvers = []

while True:  
# Find coins and/or attack the enemy.  
# Use flags and your special moves to win!  
items = hero.findItems()  
for item in items:  
if item.value == 3:  
golds.append = item  
elif item.value == 2:  
silvers.append = item  
else:  
pass

```
if golds:
    hero.say("Oro")
    gold = hero.findNearest(golds)
    hero.moveXY( **gold.pos**.x, gold.pos.y)
elif silvers:
    hero.say("Plata")
    silver = hero.findNearest(silvers)
    hero.moveXY(silver.pos.x, silver.pos.y)
else:
    hero.say("Bronce")
    item = hero.findNearestItem()
    hero.moveXY(item.pos.x, item.pos.y)
```

You are not using append function correctly  
golds.append(item)  
silvers.append(item)

btw for your own knowledge if you say item = golds.append

you can use item(item) to append the array golds

You are saying that the object + function is equal a new function item
