if enemy:
    hero.attack(enemy)

Commands the hero to attack the nearest enemy.

Collect Coin Example

coin = hero.findNearestItem()
if coin:

Move and Attack Sequence

hero.moveForward()
enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
if enemy:
    hero.attack(enemy)

Moves the hero forward, then attacks an enemy.

Let’s Try →

Using While Loop

while True:
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        hero.attack(enemy)
    else:
        break

Keeps attacking enemies until none remain.

Let’s Try →

Move to Specific Position

hero.move({'x': 10, 'y': 20})

Moves the hero to a specified x,y coordinate.

Let’s Try →

Say a Message Multiple Times

for i in range(3):
    hero.say("Hello")

Makes the hero say 'Hello' 3 times using a loop.

Let’s Try →

Attack if Health is Good

if hero.health > 50:
    enemy = hero.findNearestEnemy()
    if enemy:
        hero.attack(enemy)

Hero attacks only if health is above 50.

Let’s Try →

Collect All Items in Range

items = hero.findItems()
for item in items:
    hero.move(item.pos)

Loops through all items and collects them.
