Sarven Treasure/General Code problem

1

Lately when attempting levels I am having a hard time/unable to target and attack monsters.

using the code:

    # Collect 150 gold while evading ogres with teleporters.
    # If you win, it gets harder (and more rewarding).
    # If you lose, you must wait a day before you can resubmit.
    # Remember, each submission gets a new random seed.
    enemies = self.findEnemies()
    enemyIndex = 0

    loop:
        while enemy <len(enemyIndex):
            enemy = self.findNearest(enemies)
            if enemy:
                self.say("1234")

My hero never actually says 1234

If I add:

while not enemy:
        self.say("5678")

He will sit and spam 5678 and not attack the ogre.

enemies = self.findEnemies()
enemyIndex = 0

loop:
    while enemy <len(enemies):
        enemy = self.findNearest(enemies)
    while enemy:
        self.say("1234")
    while not enemy:
        self.say("5678")

will also sit and spam 5678

I have also tried:

enemies = self.findEnemies()
enemyIndex = 0

loop:
    while enemy <len(enemies):
        enemy = self.findNearest(self.findEnemies())
    while enemy:
        self.say("1234")
    while not enemy:
        self.say("5678")

It also spams 5678.

Edit: This is the gear I am using Picture

you dont need to kill them you can just quickly get the coins with speed ring and softened leather boots
you get farther through the levels

I get that I can speed through the levels, but I’m trying to figure out the way to beat them while also learning.

A few problems with your code:

while enemy <len(enemyIndex):
  • You are comparing enemy to a number. (len(varName) returns a number. enemy would be an object, and comparing an object to a number doesn’t make sense.
  • At the time you are checking while enemy <len(enemyIndex): enemy hasn’t been defined. So the while statement never evaluates. However, because you define it later, it doesn’t give an error.
  • You are using len() on a non-list variable type. len(["a", "b", "c"]) is 3, len(0) is None.

Hopefully these get you on the right track.

5

So, you get the list of enemies only one time, at the first second of the game, when there is no enemies on the map.

Put this

enemies = self.findEnemies()
enemyIndex = 0

Inside the loop

6

So I end up actually being to slow if I kill the enemies, is there a way to prioritize the 2 and 3 gold coins over the 1 value and if no 2/3 then collect 1’s?

7

yup and i recommend speed ring and softened leather boots

8

I’m about 1200 short of getting the speed ring sadly.

My code right now is:

loop:
    coins = self.findItems()
    coinIndex = 0
    enemies = self.findEnemies()
    enemyIndex = 0
    
    enemy = self.findNearest(enemies)
    if enemy:
        while enemy.health > 0:
            self.attack(enemy)
        
    # Wrap this into a loop that iterates over all coins.
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
    # Gold coins are worth 1 or more.
        if coin.value >=1:
        # Move to coin.
            self.moveXY(coin.pos.x, coin.pos.y)
        pass
        coinIndex += 1

I end up only getting 56 coins after 59.9 seconds right now though.

And if I don’t attack, I die.

what level are you on
and what gear

10

Sarven Treasure in the Sarven Desert, my max hp is 1159

11

get a better chestplate if you can and what level in sarvern treasure its a replayable level
I could not finish it until I got the speed ring and softened boots with runesword but mostly the speed helped

12

Oh, I’m still stuck only level 1

13

I think its impossible to win without speed ring and softened leather boots
i have tried to win without those and I failed just always runs out of time
but when i used the speed ring with the boots it worked

14

So I have another issue now that seems to be happening;

marks = [{"x": 84, "y": 78},{"x": 84, "y": 51},{"x": 83, "y": 22}]
coin = self.findNearest(self.findItems())


while True:
    enemy = self.findNearest(self.findEnemies())
    if enemy and self.distanceTo(enemy) < 12:
        while enemy.health >= 0:
            self.attack(enemy)
    nearest = self.findNearest(self.findItems())
    self.move(nearest.pos)
    if self.gold >= 20:
        mark = self.findNearest(marks)
        self.moveXY(mark.x, mark.y)

This tells me that nearest is undefined however this code was copied and pasted from another level where the self.move(nearest.pos) worked.

15

If there are no items near you then nearest will be undefined. Do a

if(nearest)

before moving

Thanks a ton everyone, I finally beat it - without the ring of speed at that.
