[SOLVED] Sand Snakes PLEASE HELP

Level Help
1

Hey, I really need help here. I’ve been trying for an hour, looking through other help sites. Here is my code:

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 coin.distance < nearestDistance:
            # Set nearest to coin
            coin = nearest
            # Set nearestDistance to distance
            distance = nearestDistance
            
    # If there's a nearest coin, move to its position. You'll need moveXY so you don't cut corners and hit a trap.
    if nearest:
        hero.moveXY(nearest.pos.x, nearest.pos.y)

I am standing doing nothing. Please help.

With your code, since coinIndex is always 0, coin is always coins[0] and your while coin index < len(coins) loop never ends.

try getting rid of the nearest and put it under the

        if coin.distance < nearestDistance:
            # Set nearest to coin
            coin = nearest
            # Set nearestDistance to distance
            distance = nearestDistance

Why do you need it?

Also, if someone could just post the correct code, that would be great.

10

that is kinda against the rules

11

and also to help you @Griffi22

Ok. This is my first time posting, but I’ve read through other posts, so I got the gist of what to do.

So I can help you on this level, and please do not request solutions as it is against the Discourse rules.

This is supposed to be

nearest = coin
            # Set nearestDistance to distance
            nearestDistance = distance

You just did it the other way around.

Sorry, what is the difference between those codes? Did you post the same thing twice? I see: coin = nearest and distance = nearestDistance two times each?? Did I indent wrong

Oops! Sorry, I fixed it now.

I did what you said @Lydia_Song, but it did not work, though instead of standing there over an X, I am now just standing there.

Is my hero just lazy? :rofl: But really, what’s wrong?
