Treasured in ice: please help!


exitPosition = {"x": 150, "y": 120}
hero.wait(.1)

        y -= 16
    else:
        x -= 16
    return {"x": hero.pos.x + x, "y": hero.pos.y + y}


while True:
    jMod = 0
    doNext = True
    lastStep = (steps[-1] + 2) % 4
    yDif = hero.pos.y - chest.pos.y

        break

            jMod = 2
        else:

    # hero.say(jMod)
    for j in range(4):
        i = (j + jMod) % 4
        checkPoint = direction(i)
        if hero.isPathClear(hero.pos, checkPoint) and walls[len(steps)][i] == 0 and i != lastStep:
            hero.moveXY(checkPoint.x, checkPoint.y)
            steps.append(i)
            doNext = False
            break
    if doNext:
        checkPoint = direction(lastStep)
        walls[len(steps) - 1][steps[-1]] = 1
        steps.pop()
        hero.moveXY(checkPoint.x, checkPoint.y)

while hero.distanceTo(exitPosition) > 10:
    checkPoint = direction((steps[-1] + 2) % 4)
    steps.pop()
    hero.moveXY(checkPoint.x, checkPoint.y)

hero.moveXY(exitPosition.x, exitPosition.y)

when I do this, my hero just keeps moving in circles!

pls help
