Rather than getting you to write all the code, I'm going to give it to you to get you started.

Download the following files into a directory you can find, and open the "game.py" in Spyder.

• game.py
• map.csv

Before you run any code downloaded off the internet you should check at you can do one of at least two things:

• Check that you can find information about the person who wrote it and you'd be able to report them to a reliable police force if their code was malicious, or check that the code has been written by a company that would suffer massively if the code was unreliable.
• You can read the code and check it isn't malicious.

Look at the code you've downloaded in Spyder - do you think it could do anything you wouldn't expect? Code to look out for is code that includes the following words:

• write: is it writing anything odd to your harddrive?
• read: is it reading anything it shouldn't from your harddrive?
• exec: is it trying to run anything on your machine?
• send: is it trying to write something to the internet?
• recv: is it trying to receive something from the internet?

Can you see any of these words in the code you've downloaded?
