Return to thornbush farm (all levels) slightly too slow?

Level Help
1

in all the various return to thornbush farm levels, my hero is always slightly too slow and gets caught in the blast of the last one or two fire traps.
renouncing the “say” command (by turning it into a comment) “solves” the issue, but that clearly shouldn’t be necessary.
is it a bug or am i just dumb? it feels odd that’ i’d be the first one ever to make whatever mistake i seem to be making
here’s the code i used for “return to thornbush farm B” (lua)

-- The function maybeBuildTrap defines TWO parameters!
local function maybeBuildTrap (x, y) 
    -- Use x and y as the coordinates to move to.
    hero:moveXY(x, y)
    local enemy = hero:findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy then
        hero:say("I should build!")
        -- Use buildXY to build a "fire-trap" at the given x and y.
        hero:buildXY("fire-trap", x, y)
    end
end

while true do
    -- This calls maybeBuildTrap, with the coordinates of the bottom entrance.
    maybeBuildTrap(38, 20)
    
    -- Now use maybeBuildTrap at the right entrance!
    maybeBuildTrap(56, 34)
    -- Now use maybeBuildTrap at the top entrance!
    maybeBuildTrap(38, 48)
end

does the game expect me to have played more practice levels by this point instead of rushing through the main sequence, and i’m therefore missing some speed bonus? or am i just dumb and messing something up?

Hi and welcome to the discourse.

I think your problem here is that you just don’t have good items that make you really fast (I haven’t looked at your code yet so this is just an educated guess). So I would recommend buying the ring of speed and/or some higher level boots like the boots of leaping (the green ones) to make you faster.

Btw, please don’t curse. At the end of the day this is a place made for kids, and we need to try and keep it family friendly.
