I need help here.

# This field is covered in firetraps.  Thankfully we've sent a scout ahead to find a path.  He left coins along the path so that if we always stick to the nearest coin, we'll avoid the traps.

# This canyon seems to interfere with your findNearest glasses!
# You'll need to find the nearest coins on your own.
nearestCoin = hero.findItems()
while True:
    coins = hero.findItems()
    coinIndex = 0
    nearest = None
    nearestDistance = 9999
    
    # Loop through all the coins to find the nearest one.
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
        coinIndex += 1
        distance = hero.distanceTo(coin)
        # If this coin's distance is less than the nearestDistance
        if nearestCoin < nearestDistance:
            # Set nearest to coin
            nearest == nearestCoin
            # Set nearestDistance to distance
            nearestDistance == distance
            
    # If there's a nearest coin, move to its position. You'll need moveXY so you don't cut corners and hit a trap.
hero.moveXY(coins.pos.x, coins.pos.y)

Any ideas on how to get me guy to ACTUALLY MOVE?

I’ll be able to check your code in a few minutes, but I’ve noticed that you’ve placed hero.moveXY underneath the while True loop, so it’ll never run.

Put the hero.moveXY in the while True loop

Did that, the computer doesn’t recognize ‘x’

you should look at the nearest coin not the list “coins” because you need a singular object to check it’s position

I asked the AI. It’s all good now, thanks for helping!
