So, I just added = a few criticisms earlier above.=C2=A0 To sumarize:
=C2=A0=C2= =A0 avoid global variables, document functions with docstrings, use really = clear names for variables including function=C2=A0 names.=C2=A0 If you have= code in two functions that is almost identical, figure out how to make the= m one function

good luck
