Hello @muyeed63

I found your problem. It was a missing closing bracket. “)”

I suggest that you wrap your code inside these kind of brackets:

Copy your code and…

[code]
paste it in between these lines.
[/code]

Please also provide us with the traceback. The lines that tells you there are an error in the code.
It use to give clues about where and what causing the error.
I guess it looked like this in your case…

File "death_valley.py", line 155
    action = input(">")
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

In this case it was actually above line 155. Because of the missing closing brackets python thought this line was a part of the string. But there isn’t any quotes around this line. And it wants another bracket.
So python throws an error.

You have some more errors in the code. At least typos.
Use the information the traceback gives you. Remember: not always exactly the line it says, but around it. Most of the times above.
