This is my code so far

```python
while True:
    friends = hero.findFriends()
    # Use for-loop and for each friend:
    for friend in friends:
        # If they see an enemy then command to attack.
        if friend.findNearestEnemy:
            hero.command(friend, "attack", enemy)
        # Command to move east by small steps.
        

```

I have no idea how to

```python
Command to move east by small steps.

```

You have to check if there is an enemy using `friend.findNearestEnemy()`. If that enemy exists, then command your friends to attack that enemy, else command them to move `friend.pos.x + 1, friend.pos.y`

It says that friend.findNearestEnemy() isn’t a thing?

If it gives you an error, then you probably haven’t checked if a friend exists. If a friend exists, then they need to find the nearest enemy to them. If that enemy exists, they need to attack it, otherwise they need to move to the right.
