+
+Discription/Directions: The red arrows are pointing at the XY plane and the compass below so that you can have a clear orientation of thor as he moves within the bondary conditions. Remember the objective is to get thor to move towards the light of power. The directions you will be using will be N(North), NE(North East), E(East), SE(South East), S(South), SW(South West), W (West), or NW(North West).

+  Minor typos.

+/* 
+**Test case 1 & 2:**
+
+This line of code is where you will put in how Thor will move. In order to observe what direction he will go in based on what you are already given click on the "play testcase" button in the bottom right hand corner and watch the video as he moves. After this you will change the direction that thor moves "E" (East) towards the light of power and you passed the first test case. You will notice that as you play each testcase the orientation of thor changes, so you can repeat the same process in testcase 01 (straight line) in test case 02 (Up) but this time go N North in the direction of the light of power. 
+*/
+/* **Test case 3:**
+
+Easy angle is where things get a little tricky. In order to make Thor move toward the light of power, while also being mindful of his "Energy" located under the console output, you must how thor move SW (South West) and E (East) at the same time so you will need 2 else if statements. The reason you must increment is to prevent Thor from moving out of the boundary conditions before he reaches the light of power. 
+*/
+/* **Test case 4:**
+
+The final test case (Optimal angle) utilizing everything implemented before while also assuring that the whole code is properly looped so that you can play all testcases. Here is where you apply the use of if and else if statements to get the last angle to be short but also keep you from running out of enery. You essentially have to loop Thor's inital direction twice so that he can reach the light of power.
+*/
+/* *Note: In order to loop each of the test cases to work all at the same time you have to use an if statement so that you can input more than one direction for each time that Thor moves. You will notice that as you play each testcase. Your conditions are created by making the light of power position X or Y (light_x/light_y) greater than or less than the positon of Thor(initial_tx/initial_ty) in the X or Y.*
+*/
+// .. note::
+//  
+//  I think it would be better to code a solution independent of the test cases that will move Thor to the light from any position on the map.

+    }
+// .. note::
+//  
+//  Should use new variable names instead of initial_tx and initial_ty, also whatever variable name is used for Thor's position, it should be updated each time he moves.

+// **Now you can press "PLAY ALL TESTCASES"**

+// .. note::
+//  
+//  I was able to successfully pass all the visible test cases simply by pasting this code in. However it fails the additional test cases when the code is submitted.
