What arguments need to be passed in a function ?

Hi, Since the variable CELLS is being used within the function get_locations(), why isn't it passed in along with the variable player ? Thanks, Max

CELLS is defined as a global variable. CELLS is accessible to all functions defined within the file dungeon_game.py
