Watch out for Archers, who can shoot from far..
Archers can attack explorer from far without being detected. Store an instance variable for health to see if your current health value (from getHealth()) is less than before. Don't waste time recharging while being attacked!
Don't take more than 35 moves to reach the goal.
As your code gets more complicated, it will help to create additional methods instead of keeping everything in nested if-then blocks.

Jul 6, 4:52 AMI've been fighting hard with this one, can't get it.
How do I use a variable (lasthealth) without clobbering it's data every time the play method is called.
I want to update lasthealth at the bottom of the play method... check it when its called again... but I can't check it without declaring it at the start... which ruins the value its holding on to
