        import spider
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'spider'
Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit https://www.codembark.com/

2. Click on "Start Coding Right Now"

3. Write "import spider" into app.py in the right panel

4. Click the Play button in the bottom middle panel.

Hey, thanks for trying my thing! The first couple of steps in the project are sort of "welcome/intro" steps. Once you move a few steps forward then you will actually be in the spider project code.

I'm wondering if it might be better to get rid of these introduction steps and just drop the user directly into the project. Or maybe it's just an issue with this project where I've mentioned `import spider` directly in the welcome step when it can't be used yet.

Either way, thanks for the feedback, I'll make some sort of change to make things less confusing!

I would really like to see a programming system where the positioning of elements is part of the interaction and parameters.
