def nextpos(doska, x, y):
	size = len(doska)
	if x < size // 2:
		if y > 0 and doska[y-1][x] == '*':
			return x, y-1
	else:
		if y < size-1 and doska[y+1][x] == '*':
			return x, y+1
	if y < size // 2:
		if x < size-1 and doska[y][x+1] == '*':            
			return x+1, y
	else:
		if x > 0 and doska[y][x-1] == '*':
			return x-1, y
	return x, y

I did it like this , but this function moves with figures counter-clockwise. I tried to make it in clock direction Thanks for your recent help with spliting functions it helps me really.
