The description contains a wrong description of the actual logic. The actual logic would be as follows:

• A sculk sensor is triggered whenever a player action is within a distance of 8 (Euclidean distance) of it
• A sculk shrieker is triggered whenever a sculk sensor within a distance of 8 (Euclidean distance) of it is triggered
• A warden spawns if there have been 3 or more of sculk shriekers being triggered (not necessarily from the same/distinct ones)
• Also, a warden spawns if a player action is directly at a sculk shrieker

The description needs way more clarification.

• what coordinate system convention is used for player_action => it isn't clear if it's (y,x) or (x,y)
• it isn't mentioned that player actions can happen outside of the map
• how is radius supposed to be calculated? Is it inclusive (i.e. up to and including 8)?
• a small example in the description would probably help significantly

Hi,

That's a duplicate, sorry. Unpublishing.

If you're interested in authoring kata, you should read the documentation for a better view of the general context.

Cheers

Python is not C, so there is no need to pass in the length of the array as an argument.
