17,320 PointsMovement.py doesn't validate in treehouse interpreter. Shell works fine.
I tried running my code in the python shell on my computer which works for the 3 test cases given in the commented examples. However, my code doesn't validate by the treehouse interpreter. Is there a test case I'm not catching or aware of?
# 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
directionX, directionY = direction
if x + directionX < 0 or x + directionX > 9:
hp -= 5
if y + directionY < 0 or y + directionY > 9:
hp -= 5
if x + directionX > 0 and x + directionX < 9:
x += directionX
if y + directionY > 0 and y + directionY < 9:
y += directionY
return x, y, hp

229,788 PointsYou're not allowing movement up to the edge.
When you check for legal movement, you need to include the cases where the final position is at an edge (0 or 9). So, for example, instead of checking for less than 9, you should check for less than or equal 9.
If you have misunderstood the challenge, it's also very likely that you will misinterpret the results.
