@AnSeDra, apparently there’s an infinite loop in this code:

while True:
    coins = hero.findItems()
    coinIndex = 0
    realCoin = None
    newCoin = None
    fakeCoin = None
    fakeCoinIndex = 0
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
        if newCoin == False and coinIndex == 0:
            newCoin = coin
        if newCoin:
            if coin.value !=  newCoin.value:
                newCoin = coin
            elif coin.value ==  newCoin.value:
                fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] = coin
                fakeCoinIndex += 1
        coinIndex += 1
    k = 0
    while k == 0:
        if  fakeCoin and (fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] and newCoin) and (newCoin != fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]):
            realCoin = newCoin
            k = 1
        else:
            fakeCoinIndex -= 1
    if realCoin:
        hero.move(realCoin.pos)
24

I edited post 21 so try to correct all of it.
Does it work now?

he doesn’t move

Delete it. How does it move?

27

no, he doesn’t (20 chars)

Could you show us your new code ?

29 
while True:
    coins = hero.findItems()
    coinIndex = 0
    realCoin = None
    newCoin = None
    fakeCoin = None
    fakeCoinIndex = 0
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
        if newCoin == False and coinIndex == 0:
            newCoin = coin
        if newCoin:
            if coin.value !=  newCoin.value:
                newCoin = coin
            elif coin.value ==  newCoin.value:
                fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] = coin
                fakeCoinIndex += 1
        coinIndex += 1
    k = 0
    while k == 0 and fakeCoin and fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]:
        if (fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] and newCoin) and (newCoin != fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]): 
            realCoin = newCoin 
            k = 1
        else: 
            fakeCoinIndex -= 1
        if realCoin:
            hero.move(realCoin.pos)
30

This should be outside the while loop. How can you send me the new code?

31

he still doesn’t move. here’s the code:

while True:
    coins = hero.findItems()
    coinIndex = 0
    realCoin = None
    newCoin = None
    fakeCoin = None
    fakeCoinIndex = 0
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
        if newCoin == False and coinIndex == 0:
            newCoin = coin
        if newCoin:
            if coin.value !=  newCoin.value:
                newCoin = coin
            elif coin.value ==  newCoin.value:
                fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] = coin
                fakeCoinIndex += 1
        coinIndex += 1
    k = 0
    while k == 0 and fakeCoin and fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]:
        if (fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] and newCoin) and (newCoin != fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]): 
            realCoin = newCoin 
            k = 1
        else: 
            fakeCoinIndex -= 1
if realCoin:
    hero.move(realCoin.pos)
32

Put it into the while True but outsider the while k==0 loop. Can you send me the new code?

33

the same thing happened again, @AnSeDra. here’s the code:

while True:
    coins = hero.findItems()
    coinIndex = 0
    realCoin = None
    newCoin = None
    fakeCoin = None
    fakeCoinIndex = 0
    while coinIndex < len(coins):
        coin = coins[coinIndex]
        if newCoin == False and coinIndex == 0:
            newCoin = coin
        if newCoin:
            if coin.value !=  newCoin.value:
                newCoin = coin
            elif coin.value ==  newCoin.value:
                fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] = coin
                fakeCoinIndex += 1
        coinIndex += 1
    k = 0
    while k == 0 and fakeCoin and fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]:
        if (fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex] and newCoin) and (newCoin != fakeCoin[fakeCoinIndex]): 
            realCoin = newCoin 
            k = 1
        else: 
            fakeCoinIndex -= 1
    if realCoin:
        hero.move(realCoin.pos)
34

Delete this.
Are you sure that the array fakeCoin contains all of the fake coins?

35

i think it does … but does it?

36

After you removed that does it work?

37

no, because it “isn’t defined”

38

This is how I completed it. First I went with index i through the coins array than put coinA=coins[i] and I made k =0. After that I went with index j through the coins array then put coinB=coins[j] and if coinA.value==coinB.value and i != j, then I made k=1 and after I checked all of the coins with the j index k is still 0, then moveXY to the coinA’s posision. Do you understand?

39

can you have it in pieces please?

40 
while True:
    coins=hero.findItems()
    i=0
    while i < len(coins):
        coinA = coins[i]
        j = 0
        k=0
        while j < len(coins):
            coinB = coins[j]
            # if the coinA and CoinB's values are equal and i != j, make k=1 and break
            j += 1
        if k==0:
            #here use moveXY to pick up the coinA
        i += 1

Do you need any more assistance at this level?

41

coinB isn’t defined (20)

42

Put coinB as coins[j]. Do you need any more assistance at this level?
