Hi Thomas,

I got the following error when running your game, any prior setup needed?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “main.py”, line 178, in
playgame()
File “main.py”, line 152, in playgame
interaction(player)
File “main.py”, line 57, in interaction
user_input = input(‘Coordinates:’)
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Best,
CĂŠsar

I can’t seem to figure it out myself either. A workaround is to copy the code into a text file, to run it locally through your desired console :slight_smile:

The Codebyte console is not interactive, so your code won’t run in it. The EOFError is thrown because there’s no way for the console to accept input. I’ll edit your post to include the code, but not in a Codebyte, so others won’t try to run it here, but can still copy it, and run it locally on their own machines.
