How can I slim down my block selections?

I’m trying to pass the review exercise for this lesson, and I’m one move away from passing but I’m stuck because I ran out of block options. If I could use 2 more blocks then I would pass. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can slim down the selection that I have to make room for 2 more blocks?

Thanks

If (same as you)
Else if (same as you)
Else - If space up is hedge move left
Else move up

5 blocks left.

Once I split if the problem into 2 parts “If Codey does not have the key” and “If Codey has the key” I was able to see how to create a main If/else for those conditions and then write the rest within one or the other.

Thanks for the great explanation. I must have run 100 iterations on this beast before using your split method and the space-up string. Once I watched it run it made perfect sense. Thanks!

I’m glad it helped. It took me forever myself to see how to split it up correctly.

Excellent job with this one. Putting two if else inside another if else… i would have struggled with this one for weeks.

Thank you for the tip! I was going around in circles and making an entire complicated mess of the review. I gotta remember to keep things simple.
