Hi @Gabriel_Knight, you have 2 issues with your code. The first one is this:

> [@Gabriel\_Knight](#):
>
> `loop:`

In python, this will never work, what you need to do is have a while loop like this:

```python
While True:

```

The second issue with your code is this:

> [@Gabriel\_Knight](#):
>
> `else self.attack(farthest)`

The indention and placement is wrong. It should look like this:

```python
else:
     self.attack(farthest)

```

Hope this helps!

I don’t know if Python will work with self, if it works great! If it doesn’t work, try changing it to

```python
hero

```

And try what @Grzmot said.

Yes, self does work in python, but like other people, I just learned to use hero instead, so that’s what I stick with.
