1,555 PointsThis works outside of workspaces. The "Bummer! Try again!" message is lacking in helpfulness. Would appreciate a hand.
when I run this in Atom with python 3.6.2 it works fine. Only thing I can think of is it's not returning a tuple?
# 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
if direction == (-1, 0):
x -= 1
if x < 0:
x = 0
hp -= 5
if direction == (1, 0):
x += 1
if x > 9:
x = 9
hp -= 5
if direction == (0, -1):
y -= 1
if y < 0:
y = 0
hp -= 5
if direction == (0, 1):
y += 1
if y > 9:
y = 9
hp -= 5
return x, y, hp
move((0, 9, 5), (0, 1))

3,228 PointsWhat I did here was I unpacked direction as a tuple as well
a , b = direction
Since what we're doing here is merging the two arguments to return the result, I then said
x = x + a
y = y + b
Then, you can simply say if x > 9: x = 9, etc.
