I need help printing the 'X' in my dungeon game. Here is the link to fixing my code: https://w.trhou.se/8skmpqqfbf.

I would like to know what I am doing wrong.

Running your code produces an "X", but there is a bug in get_moves. I was surprised by the output:

You're currently in room (2, 1)
 _ _ _ 
|_|_|_| 
|_|_|_| 
|_|X|_| 
You can move ['LEFT', 'RIGHT', 'UP', 'DOWN']

I clearly can not move DOWN from here. Also, when the player is in the TOP row (0), "DOWN" is removed. See corrected code below:

def get_moves(player):
  moves = ['LEFT', 'RIGHT', 'UP', 'DOWN']
  #player = (x, y)
  if player[1]==0:
    moves.remove('LEFT')
  if player[1] == 2:
    moves.remove('RIGHT')
  if player[0] ==0:
    moves.remove('UP')
  if player[0] == 2:  # <-- changed criteria to "2"
    moves.remove('DOWN')

Also, as coded, the coordinates relate more to "(row, column)" than to "(x, y)".
