So in the Dungeon Game , he sets his player to NONE, what exactly does NONE mean? Is it like an empty list/tuple?

I suppose the only reason for setting monster, player and door to None is that he would still finish the function later. He actually sets all these 3 variables to a random (x, y) tuple, but he leaves the function like you mentioned because he want's to finish it later. He could also coded like this:

def get_location():
    pass

But he left the way he did because he wanted to make sure you knew that the idea of the function is to get a location for player, monster and door. The temporary value set (None) is so that the program can execute without any errors.

I hope I made myself clear. English is not my first language, so my grammar is not the best.
