STEP 14: Using the distance formula, we can calculate the distance between two sprites. This formula uses our delta_y (rise) and delta_x (run) to calculate the straight-line distance.
The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem (a2 + b2 = c2), so solving for c will give us the distance.
- From , drag out Distance Formula to the bottom of your code.
- Now that we know how far apart Emma and Michael are, we can make something happen if they are too close!

michael_y = random.randint(-230,230)

delta_x = emma_x - michael_x
delta_y = emma_y - michael_y
