help with short code

I know it's messy, but it's logical for me. I tried this on Workspace and the code didn't obey the "and". Why is this happening?

movement.py 
# EXAMPLES:
# move((1, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 10)
# move((0, 1, 10), (-1, 0)) => (0, 1, 5)
# move((0, 9, 5), (0, 1)) => (0, 9, 0)

def move(player, direction):
    x, y, hp = player
    x1, y1 = direction

    if ((x1 + x) <= 9 and (x1 + x) >= 0) and ((y1 + y) <= 9 and (y1 + y2) >= 0) and (x1 == 1 or x1 == -1) and (y1 == 1 or y1 == -1):
        x += 
        y += y1
    else:
        hp -= 5


    return x, y, hp

You are very close. Two typos and two missing conditions

  • missing x1 on the line "x += "
  • using undefined y2 instead of y in `if condition
  • code needs to handle when either x1 or y1 is zero: Add the or'd conditions x1 == 0 and y1 == 0 appropriately.

Post back if you need more help. Good Luck!
