What's wrong with the code? The examples tested work fine.

Hi... No sure what can be wrong with my code for this challenge... In fact, it works with the 3 examples presented above in the comments, as also with some others I tried on my own, but I am still getting the message "Bummer: Try again!". Thanks in advance for any hint or advice.

movement.py 
# 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
    dir_x, dir_y = direction
    new_x_try = x + dir_x
    new_y_try = y + dir_y
    if new_x_try < 0 or new_x_try > 9 or new_y_try < 0 or new_y_try > 9:
        hp -= 5
    else:
        x, y = new_x_try, new_y_try
    return x, y, hp

Hi, Brendan... many thanks for your prompt reply... Something should be wrong, still... as I still can't finish it and move forward. I have tried to delete everything and re-paste it, but still no success... As said before, the code runs fine in the Workspaces and the tests I have tried run successfully, bu I would like to finish this cleanly. Again, many thanks for your time. P.S.: I even have tried to logout and lo in again... just i case, by the way... ;)

sometimes it helps to re-type the solution instead of just pasting.

Hi, Chul Kim, many thanks for your reply and suggestion... In fact, someone (and/or somehow) should have reset it in the meanwhile and after re-typing exactly the same, it finally worked... :) Again, many thanks.
