JSON Decoder Files

Bug description: When I attempt to run my Sudoku game I receive this an error that I have copied further down in this report.
I believe that it means that there is an error in the JSON decoder files that stops my code from running completely.

Expected vs Current Behavior: When I tried to run this code before Christmas it was working fine but now it is coming up with this error - bearing in mind that I haven’t changed any of the code.

Steps to reproduce:

Hi @gw10rouskathryn thanks for your message and welcome to the community!

The reason you see the JSON error is because line 8 is attempting to get information from the following URL

https://sugoku.herokuapp.com/board?difficulty=easy

Whatever service was there before Christmas is no longer available (possibly due to heroku platform changes to remove the free tier).

I’ve moved this topic to #code-help
